Justin,
I suggest you try to remove your malformed eurodist and use the one in R.
The svn logs show no changes in eurodist since 2005 when 'r' was added to
'Gibralta' (it still has all the wrong distances which perhaps go back to
the poor quality of Cambridge Encyclopaedia). I also installed R 2.9
Here's my osx data/session info (identical after a re-install):

The eurodist dataset (my favorite for mds) is malformed. Instead of a
standard distance matrix, it's a data frame. The rownames have gotten
'bumped' to a new anonymous dimension "X". It's possible to fix the data,
but it messes up a lot of example code out there.
