list assignment

There appears to be a problem with name matching in list assignment:

Version 0.63.0  (November 14, 1998)
...

r <- list()
r$forecast.cov.trend <- 1:12
r$forecast.cov.zero <- 1:12
r$forecast.cov <- 1:2
length(r$forecast.cov)

[1] 0                                   #should be 2

But note that this works correctly:

 r <- list()
r$forecast.cov.trend <- 1:12
r$forecast.cov <- 1:2
length(r$forecast.cov)

[1] 2

And also this works correctly:

r <- list()
r$forecast.cov <- 1:2
r$forecast.cov.trend <- 1:12
r$forecast.cov.zero <- 1:12
length(r$forecast.cov)

[1] 2

length(r$forecast.cov.trend)

[1] 12

length(r$forecast.cov.zero)

[1] 12
