At first I thought it was R as well, but the fact that there is no 
decimal point in the output file plus the fact that (outside of emacs) I 
can use read.table to pull in the table and the result has no decimal
formatting makes me think otherwise.  That you're running the same setup 
as me, though, gives me hope.  I can backup, re-install Arch, and see if 
the problem goes away.

Thanks for your help.  I'm not certain when I'll have time to try this, 
but I'll follow up on this thread when I do.

Best,
Dan
