It's an R error, but if you ask them, they'll tell you that lots of
people have this trouble:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3136293/read-spss-file-into-r
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/read-spss-warning-message-Unrecognized-record-type-7-subtype-18-encountered-in-system-file-td3000775.html
The first link suggests a solution, the second link tells you to ignore
the warning. I get the impression that the PSPP code used in the R
foreign package has not been updated in many, many years.
