[Rd] dump() behaves unexpectedly with local variables (PR#2400)

Full_Name: Johannes Hüsing
Version: 1.6.0.1
OS: Windows 2000
Submission from: (NULL) (132.252.149.100)


The following code produces an error:

> f <- function() { x <- 4; dump("x") }
> f()
Error in dump("x") : Object "x" not found

In the documentation the limited functionality 
of the current version of dump() is mentioned. 
It may be a good idea to give this as an example where dump()
does not (yet) work.

Greetings
