Thank you Jorge and Barry for your input.

I've fiddled around a bit and as a result, am even more confused. If I start
R console via Notepad++ (I use Npp2R) and execute the model1, it goes
through just fine. Here is the sessionInfo() for this "working" session:

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24)
i386-pc-mingw32

locale:
LC_COLLATE=Slovenian_Slovenia.1250;LC_CTYPE=Slovenian_Slovenia.1250;LC_MONETARY=Slovenian_Slovenia.1250;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Slovenian_Slovenia.1250

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tools_2.9.2

And if I run R "normally", via an icon from the desktop (Rgui.exe) it gives
the aforementioned error. Here is the sessionInfo() for "non-working"
session. Is it possible that grid, reshape, plyr, ggplot2 and proto could be
causing this? If so, how can I prevent them from loading automatically or
unloading from a live session?
