Subject: as.matrix strangeness
Dear R users,
I presume there is something foul with system:
a <- c(1,2,3,4)
as.matrix(a, ncol=2)
Output:
[,1]
[1,] 1
[2,] 2
[3,] 3
[4,] 4
The vignette for as.matrix says nrow (ncol) will be deduced from length
and ncol (nrow). It does not work even when I additionally specify
nrow=2. It behaves as if I had not given the ncol argument. Any hints
on what might be borked up here?

Thanks in advance,
