Thanks to Robert Gentleman, Joshua Betcher and Sandrine Dudoit for
responding. 

I changed graphics window sizes and output the graphs to files to work
around the problem. I also tried to debug the functions to track down
exactly where the error is but no luck really - sorry.

Next I tried an overall loess normalisation on housekeeping genes
exp48.norm<-maNorm(exp48, norm="loess", subset=(housekeep ==1))  

and while maPlot(), maDiagnPlots1(), maNormPlots(), work fine (if I'm
careful about graphics window sizes), maRawPlots() doesn't

> maDiagnPlots1(exp48[,1],fname="test1.ps",dev="postscript",save=T)
postscript 
         2 
> maNormPlots(exp48.norm[,1],fname="test2.ps",dev="postscript",save=T)
postscript 
         2 
> maRawPlots(exp48[,1],fname="test3.ps",dev="postscript",save=T)
Error in factor(z, levels = 1:nlevels(x), labels = levels(x)) : 
	invalid labels; length 0 should be 1 or 2

Is this a similar error? It sort of looks like it because the boxplot
where it stops has no margins

Thanks a lot
