Bug in file.copy: overwrite=FALSE ignored (PR#3529)

I am using R 1.7.1 on Windows XP Pro.

The 'overwrite=FALSE' argument appears to be ignored in
file.copy():

file.exists(c("file1.txt", "file2.txt"))

[1] TRUE TRUE

file.copy(from="file2.txt", to="file1.txt", overwrite=FALSE)

[1] TRUE

and sure enough, file1.txt has been overwritten.
