What other packages do you have loaded? Perhaps a BioConductor one that loads S4Vectors that announces upon load: Creating a generic function for 'nchar' from package 'base' in package 'S4Vectors' Maybe a red herring... ~Malcolm > -Original Message- > From: R-devel

Hi, I realize this is an old thread, but just wondering whether a conclusion was ever reached on this issue? I'm using formula(NULL) but it would be nice if default initialization worked for formula classes as well. Cheers, Josh On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 8:13 AM, Hervé Pagès
