Oh please do try not to annoy those who give you the free gift of R!
1) This is a repeat of two previous bug reports: look in the Windows-fixed
section on the bug repository.
2) It is documented in R 2.6.1: see ?choose.dir.
3) It has already been worked around in R-patched and R-devel.
Reporting already fixed bugs is really annoying, and specifically warned
against in the FAQ. Especially since the root of the bug is a broken
Windows Vista system call, and not our fault.
