Peter,

There is a clear and simple bug in glm() that I have noticed in 0.64.2 (Windows and Unix) but may have been present in earlier versions.
It has a long history: the expand.dots = FALSE was introduced in 0.63, but the second call has been wrong for longer.
The two marked lines should clearly be
call <- match.call()
and
mf <- match.call(expand.dots = FALSE)
as in S. I've committed this for 0.65.0. We have had various discussions about glm: it is proving very hard to maintain (that is, find the bugs) and is irritatingly different from S. One option is to reimplement it. Brian
