Vignette package 'parallel'?

Hi,

I couldn't find the vignette for the package 'parallel' (Mac OS X 10.7.3; R
2.15.0). I then tried to (re)install the package (I know I comes with R
natively). I obtained:

What's wrong?

Cheers,

PS: Dirk Eddelbuettel sent me the vignette off-list, I just would like to know
how I could get it via 'vignette(package="parallel")'.

Do you have the vignttes from grid, or the one from utils?

If not, you'll need to re-install R.  (I just installed the binary
R-2.15.0.pkg from CRAN, and didn't get those vignettes: so it looks like the
current binary isn't installing them.)
