There is no "read.table.default" in standard R 2.2.0, so it appears that
you have installed a replacement for read.table, and it no longer works.
If you type
getAnywhere("read.table")$where
and
getAnywhere("read.table.default")$where
you are likely to see where those functions came from. (I see
> getAnywhere("read.table")$where
[1] "package:base" "namespace:base"

character(0)
indicating that read.table comes from the base package, and
read.table.default doesn't exist.
