No.  Whereas I partly agree that it's Ross ``fault'' trying to
use too smart LaTex (and using outdated \bf instead of \mathbf), 
;-)

The bug is really there, since we are talking about the Rd "language",
not LaTeX, an in Rd,  \eqn and \deqn are defined to have either
one or two arguments -- where Ross used the 2-argument version
correctly (in principle at least) --> See the manual "Writing R
Extensions".
