PLEASE:
a) Use a sensible subject line
b) Please post only post bug reports if you are sure it is a bug (and
here it is not a bug!)
c) Check the recent R version (1.9.1) if posting bugs, not an outdated one!
d) Only named arguments are passed through the ... argument:
integrate(dnorm, lower=-Inf, upper=3, mean=-1, sd=7)
