[BioC] Problem using write.FCS in flowCore 1.11.20

Hi all, 

I installed flowCore 1.11.20 from source and was attempting to read an FCS 
file written using the write.FCS function but have run into an error. 

# Read an FCS file in
flowFrame = read.FCS("/tmp/sample_5_ifng_il4.fcs",transform=FALSE);
# Write it to a temporary FCS File
write.FCS(flowFrame,"/tmp/test.fcs");
# Read the temporary FCS File that was just written
flowFrame2 = read.FCS("/tmp/test.fcs",transform=FALSE);

Error in 2:(nrCols + 1) : NA/NaN argument
In addition: Warning message:
In read.FCS("/tmp/flow.fcs") : NAs introduced by coercion

Does anyone have thoughts on what may be causing such an error? I am using 
Biobase_2.4.1 although I understand flowCore 1.11.20 is supposedly part of the 
2.5 release and thought that this could potentially be an issue.
