bug in chdir option of source
Please read the posting guide (as we do ask) and use the current version as it asks to see if the `bug' has already been fixed. This was fixed a while ago, definitely in 2.1.1.

In the "source" function there is a bug preventing the proper use of the
chdir option (which simply doesn't work).
The problem is that in the function the following line occurs:
file <- file(file, "r", encoding = encoding)
This overwrites the variable "file" and later causes the check
if (chdir && is.character(file) && (path <- dirname(file)) !=
".")
to fail.
