I ran a function called BoxCox, taken from the book by Venables and
Ripley, for checking the need for power transformation. This function
works fine using the version 0.50 of R, but gives an error message
with version 0.60.
The lm function in version 0.60 is different from that in version 0.50.
Is there a bug in the new lm function?
