Yes, and this is why we *really strongly* encourage people to try out
the patch, alpha and beta versions.  Sometimes (as in this case)
changes have unintended side effects; it's much better to catch them
before a release than after.

If you're on Windows, binary builds of the patch, alpha and beta
releases are available on the CRAN mirrors (e.g.
cran.uk.r-project.org) in the /bin/windows/base directory.  Follow the
link to "the r-patched release".  For other platforms you can download
the source and recompile it.
