[Rd] getGenerics returns names what are not generics

Hi there,

I encounter the following problem with getGenerics
when Rgraphviz is installed:

which(!sapply(getGenerics(), isGeneric))
#graph Rgraphviz     graph Rgraphviz 
#  105       106       107       108

so, getGenerics returns twice graph and Rgrapviz as being generics, when they
are not:

isGeneric("graph")
#FALSE


Best,
Vitalie.
