Something still looks still fishy. Cut&pasted from the directory view:

Directory: R-patched.tar.bz2  	 	10/29/2006  	01:00:00 AM

Or is the date in R-patched derived from the last SVN checkin which would
then happen to have been 2006-10-27?  Not according to the top of the svn log
from http://developer.r-project.org/R.svnlog.2006: (and cut down to dates
only)
