There's a problem with the export function in the rtracklayer package, which seems to be influenced by global definitions of con:

> require(rtracklayer)
> export(con="whee.bed", GRanges(1, IRanges(1, 1), score=10)) # works fine.
> con <- rbind(1:5)
> export(con="whee.bed", GRanges(1, IRanges(1, 1), score=10)) # no longer works.
Error in UseMethod("close") :
  no applicable method for 'close' applied to an object of class "c('matrix', 'integer', 'numeric')"

Presumably, this shouldn't be happening.

Yea, this was a bug. Fixed in (upcoming) 1.28.9.
