This has been reported before on the bug list (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15481). The message is coming from the methods package, but I don't know if it's a bug or ignorable.

In order to have a clean workspace at the start of each chapter of a

This appears to "work" fine in my system -- session info is below, but I
get 30 warnings of the type

30: In FUN(X[[2L]], ...) :
    Created a package name, ‘2013-10-16 10:56:47’, when none found

Does anyone have ideas why the warnings are being generated?  I'd like
to avoid suppressing them. Here's the session info.
