No reason - had forgotten this existed.

So here is another patch:

[gavin at desktop ~]$ svn diff ~/R/devel/src/

             ses[x$mask] <- round(sqrt(diag(x$var.coef)), digits =

             coef <- matrix(coef, 1L, dimnames = list(NULL,
names(coef)))

And the same is attached, that implements your suggested change rather
than the one I sent earlier.

Cheers,
