Only that you will need to have package nlme available to re-load the workspace. I think these warnings have been removed in the development version of R. I've removed the cause of such messages with the MASS function glm.nb() recently, and I guess nlme is doing similar things. The cause was that negative.binomial() created a family of functions, which thereby had the body of negative.binomial as their environment and hence the MASS namespace in its environment. As the latter was a minor nuisance, I have manipulated the environments. -- Brian D.
