[Rd] bug in function rpart (PR#9245)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You have not given a reproducible example, and you are specifically asked 
not to use R-bugs for contributed packages.

Unless you are able to produce a reproducible example and send it to me as 
maintainer, there is nothing I can do, not even to know if you are using 
rpart correctly.

Please do study the FAQ and posting guide.
