bug in R 2.7.0 (PR#11497)

In the latest version R2.7.0 the following command does not work anymore:
x <- eval(parse(prompt = paste("give value for x > ")))
It does give the pompt, but the object x is not created.
We think this is due to a bug in the function parse.
best regards,

(A more specific Subject: would have been helpful.) More succinctly, parse() from stdin() seems to be broken:
parse()
?a expression() This was not the case in January (this was the older version I had lying around): R version 2.6.2 alpha (2008-01-29 r44233) ....
parse()
?a expression(a)
