Does
  > system.file(package="foreign")

give the same initial path as
  > system.file(package="base")

?

If yes, I cannot help further;
if no,  this explains the problem:  you're picking up a wrong
version of the  foreign package.

Works for me with the recent beta (both with my own as well as with 
Duncan's build).
Kjetil, can you please try out the recent build?

Thanks!

and I get the error message.

CRAN has an 09-22 build now, and it includes a fix to seek() that was
affecting foreign.  I don't see how it would have led to the error you
saw, but you never know...

Please do try a current download, and let me know if you still see the
error.
