Greetings!
OS: Windows
R 2.0.1
Before anyone flames -- I tried to query this on the R searchable web site
and using google and did not find anything applicable.
As of about a week ago the help.search function dies when used in the simple
help.search("something") usage.
The error is
Error in rbind(...) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 203)
After some effort I have traced it down to the annotation packages. I
installed
GO, KEGG, mgu74[abc]v2 and hgu133plus2 all version 1.7.0
When I move these out of the library directory, help.search() functions
correctly again.
I have not tracked it any further -- just wanted to know if anyone else had
noticed it.

Annotation metadata "kills" help.search

This happened to me in R 2.1.0 (I forget which specific version since I now have March 27th) on Windows XP which I traced to package dataRep. Once I removed that package help.search worked again. On Mon, 28 Mar 2005 22:08:58 -0500, Gerard Tromp

We (the Bioconductor team) will look into this and see if we can reproduce what you are reporting. This is the first we've heard of difficulties with the help system caused by the annotation data packages. + seth

We are not able to reproduce this issue. If you reinstall the annotation packages does the error reappear? If so, an exact transcript of the commands entered, their output, and the output of traceback() right after the error would be helpful --- and it would be best to move the discussion to the bioconductor list. + seth
