getKMLcoordinates - subscript out of bounds

Dear all,

I've been working on a script to read KML file coordinates using
getKMLcoordinates from "maptools" package.
The function exists purely for historical reasons and should not be used 
if your rgdal package installation (so the underlying GDAL/OGR 
libraries) has the KML or libkml driver.

If anyone is still using it, let me know, otherwise it will be deprecated 
shortly and then made defunct.

Please do not post HTML mail.

The tool reads the <coordinates> section of the KML/XML file.

file="example.kml"
kml=getKMLcoordinates(file, ignoreAltitude=TRUE)

I'm getting a "subscript out of bounds" error:

Error in m[, 1:2] : subscript out of bounds

The KML files have the <coordinates> section correctly arranged,  in
addition I'm getting warning messages

1: In readLines(kmlfile, encoding = "UTF-8") : invalid input found on input
connection 'file'
2: In readLines(kmlfile, encoding = "UTF-8") : incomplete final line found
on 'file'

I can't figure out what is the problem.
