Hello, 
I am the author of the dataframe package.

The idea about using the RHS method is to consider that the two first  lines
are maybe special:
- first one may contain column names
- second may contain columns types (char, int, ...)

So, after having extracted the two first lines because all content are
strings, the procedure goes further in the analysis ... on an empty cell
array. I'm looking at that and will put out a new version shortly.

Regards

Pascal Dupuis
