[R] Restoring an S object that was data-dumped

[Roger D. Peng]

Obviously, it was data.restore() that produced the error 
below.  However, I think S-PLUS 5 might not be supported by 
data.restore() in the `foreign' package since the docs there 
say it can only read objects from S-PLUS versions 3.x and 
4.x (on Unix).
