R-helpers:
I am experiencing some odd behavior with the 'matrix' function that I have
not experienced before and was wondering if there is something that I was
missing in my code.

------------------------------------
Note the problems in rows 15, 21, 37 and 43. They should read [0.5, 45.5],
[14.5, 21.5], etc... The matrix function seems to be rounding the second
column up to the next integer. Why would this occur? Can I do something to
prevent this?
I would very much appreciate any comments.
Thanks,
