It was a bug. It has been fixed in R 2.4.0. Unfortunately, since you
didn't quote the PR# of the original bug in the subject line you have
just filed a new bug report for it.

I am sorry (about both the duplicate report and the comment). I don't know what happened with the duplication - but as you see I replied to both r-devel and r-bugs in the same e-mail, and the one arriving back via r-devel did have the right subject with the PR#9202 at the end, and the other copy via r-bugs didn't and got a new one. It seems somewhere during in the round-trip over-long subject lines get truncated and/or a new-line inserted in the middle. May worth investigating... Regards, Hin-Tak
