[BioC] problem in beadsummary vignette from beadarray

Dear Jenny,

Thanks for the note - it appears that the zip file on our website contains 
a different dataFile to the one used to generate the vignette. I have 
updated this now, so try downloading the file again. With the correct file, 
you should be able to proceed without this warning.

Best wishes,

Matt
