[R] bug in file.path?

[Javier Muñoz]

Sorry,
this is the same test with R-patched (same results as well).

> setwd("c:/jml/Valoración F1/04 BA/")
> filename <- "Valoración F1 PAG.mdb"

> file.path(getwd(), filename)
[1] "c:/jml/Valoración F1/04 BA/Valoración F1 PAG.mdb" <<- wrong

> file.path("c:/jml/Valoración F1/04 BA", filename)
[1] "c:/jml/Valoración F1/04 BA/Valoración F1 PAG.mdb" <<- ok

> file.path(paste(getwd()), filename)
[1] "c:/jml/Valoración F1/04 BA/Valoración F1 PAG.mdb" <<-ok

> getwd()
[1] "c:/jml/Valoración F1/04 BA"
