Greetings to r-help land.

I've run into some program crashes and I've traced them back to methods()
behavior
after the package gdata is loaded.  I provide now a minimal re-producible
example. This seems bugish to me. How about you?

dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100))
lm1 <- lm(y ~ x, data = dat)

methods(class = "lm")

## OK so far

library(gdata)
methods(class = "lm")
## epic fail



## OUTPUT.

> dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100))
> lm1 <- lm(y ~ x, data = dat)
>

gdata is one of my favorite packages, its worth the effort to get to the
bottom of this.
