Thanks Uwe.

It was a nice workout for these aging neurons...  ;-)

Did I miss a bug report on this? I don't recall seeing a report come
through and a quick review of r-devel and the bug tracking system does
not turn up anything.

In either case, glad to see that it is fixed.

I have also downloaded a copy of the 2.1.0 patched tarball and noted
that it is fixed there (Version 2.1.0 Patched (2005-04-20)), so for
anyone compiling from source get a copy of:

ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-patched.tar.gz

Best regards,

Marc
