I have seen this before but it has always been some silly aspect of the
data I was trying to plot.  Is there any data at all (NAs).  For example:

> y<-x<-c(0,1)
> plot(x,y)

Produces a simple plot as expected but making all x's NA:

> x<-c(NA,NA)
> plot(x,y)
Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : invalid xlim

gives the error message you get.  Is it possible that the Linux and
Windows version set-ups are leading to different vectors for tree to
handle?

I am still using 0.63.3 under RH5.2 which is rock stable so I don't want
to upgrade 'cos there aren't any rpms for later R's under RH5.2!  Very
lazy really!
