[Rd] Problem with pasteing formulas (PR#8897)

[john.little at dunelm.org.uk]

Hi,
If I create a formula with say 100 terms and then paste it:

xnam <- paste("x", 1:100, sep="")
fmla <- as.formula(paste("y ~ ", paste(xnam, collapse= "+")))
paste(fmla)

The result seems to cut off everything after the first 500 characters 
and gives no warning message.

I have the most recent version of R from the R website and the problem 
occurs on both Unix and Windows machines

Thanks

John
