Hello all, 

I'd like to report a problem related to S4 classes.

Platform: 
Mac G4/400 PCI (PPC-architecture)
Mac OS 10.4.8
R 2.4.1 for Mac OS X (CRAN binary, 2006-12-19) w/ R.app 1.18

I see the same thing using a fairly recent R-devel:

setGeneric("foobar", function(x) standardGeneric("foobar"))

[1] "foobar"

removeGeneric("foobar")

[1] TRUE

getGeneric("foobar")

standardGeneric for "foobar" defined from package ".GlobalEnv"

function (x) 
standardGeneric("foobar")
<environment: 0x5fd6d6c>
Methods may be defined for arguments: x
