boxplot.formula with missing values (PR#6846)

If an array has missing values in different rows, plotting using the formul=
a=20
interface can produce errors. Example:

fake.data <- matrix(rep(-100:100, 4),
                    ncol =3D 4)

par(mfrow =3D c(1,2))
boxplot(fake.data ~ col(fake.data))
abline(h =3D 0, lty =3D 2)
boxplot(as.data.frame(fake.data))
abline(h =3D 0, lty =3D 2)

##### Add the missing data
fake.data[190:200, 1] <- NA
fake.data[1:5, 3] <- NA

## Bot only columns 1 and 3 should change!! (and in opposite directions)
par(mfrow =3D c(1, 2))
boxplot(fake.data ~ col(fake.data))
abline(h =3D 0, lty =3D 2)
boxplot(as.data.frame(fake.data))
abline(h =3D 0, lty =3D 2)

### The problem is that the same rows are removed from all the columns:

bp.a <- boxplot(fake.data ~ col(fake.data))
bp.df<- boxplot(as.data.frame(fake.data))

### which happens during the call to

eval(m, parent.frame())

inside boxplot.formula
