[Rd] Bug in the "reformulate" function in stats package

[Saren Tasciyan]

Well, first I can't sign in bugzilla myself, that is why I wrote here 
first. Also, I don't know if I have the time at the moment to provide 
tests, multiple examples or more. If that is not ok or welcomed, that is 
fine, I can come back, whenever I have more time to properly report the bug.

I didn't find the existing bug report, sorry for that.

Yes, it is related. My problem was that I have column names with spaces 
and current solution doesn't solve it. I have a solution, which works 
for me and maybe also for others.

Either, someone can register me to bugzilla or I can post it here, which 
could give some direction to developers. I don't mind whichever is 
preferred here.

Best,

Saren
