Dear developer

I discover annoying bug in subsetting data frame.  Here is reproducable
examples:

> data.frame <- data.frame(x = runif(5), y = runif(5), row.names =
c('a','b','c','d','e')

> subset <- data.frame['x']
> subset['a',]
work

> subset <- data.frame$x
> subset['a',]
not work

> subset <- data.frame['a',]
> subset[,'x']
work

> subset <- data.frame[,'x']
> subset['a',]
not work

I hope this is easy fix for you and works corectly soon.

Sincerely,
Xin Lee
