Please NEVER use the R-bugs reporting system unless you are absolutely 
sure that you are reporting a major failure in the software - do read the 
guidance notes! Especially on release day, reporting non-bugs does raise 
pressure unnecessarily.

Google on "rbugs" gives:

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/rbugs.html

Please also read http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html carefully.

This looks like a semantic error. The address R-bugs is not a mailing
list for the discussion of R and BUGS (Bayesian Inference using Gibbs
Sampling), but for reporting "bugs" (i.e. programming errors) in R. A
moment of research would have revealed this. 

Ulf is probably thinking of the article published in R news by Sun Yan,
co-author of the rbugs package. It is still available:
