BUGS

	[1] demo(spatstat)
	    demo(data)
	    demo(diagnose)

		if there was no graphics device already open.
		Fixed.

	[2] demo(spatstat)
		Crashed towards the end of the demonstration
		when executing opening.owin(). 
		Fixed.

	[3] pixelquad

		multiplied by the area of one pixel. 
		Fixed.

		When 'spatstat' is loaded it prints out a version number.
		The version was sometimes incorrectly reported, in cases 
		where the package was installed using "versioned installs". 
		Fixed.
