Hey Ivo!

No problems here using R 2.0.0 on 32 bit Intel FC2. Both plots are fine.

I don't have a 1.9.1 install at the moment, but I would guess that we
would have heard about the problem prior to this.

That suggests a possible issue with your install or a change of some
sort with 64 bit R. Though again, I suspect other 64 bit users would
have commented on this already...

HTH,
