[Rd] Bug in R -e "command"

[Sklyar, Oleg (London)]

Hi all:

since about a month we encountered a problem with R -e command: spaces
in the "command" of R -e "command" are no more tolerated. This same
issue affects 2.11 patched (05-05-2010), 2.10.1, and current devel (at
least the one of two weeks ago).

(I skip the mid of the printouts, replaced with ...)

* R -e "message('aaa aaa')"
ARGUMENT 'aaa')' __ignored__
