(PR#5682) Re: [Rd] Error in lm.wfit(x, y, w, offset = offset, singular.ok = singular.ok, : (PR#5682)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Please read the R FAQ on how to report a bug.

1) R-bugs is not the forum to ask questions

2) There is nothing here we can reproduce.  That example works for others.

3) There is no version information provided.
