This is wierd....
It looks like the problem appears when data(..) is immediately followed
by another statement USING ``;''
-----------
rm(list=ls())
data(phones); summary(phones)
Error: Object "phones" not found
ls()
character(0)
Or also
ls()
character(0)
data(pigs); 1:10
##-- nothing is printed, but here 'pigs' is sourced
ls()
[1] "pigs"
--------------
Could it be a parser bug of `` expr1 ; expr2 '' ??
