But Henrique's advice, of using 'subset= d < 0' was really
better (in most respects I'd say). If it really did not work for you,
you have a strange (or broken?) R environment.

Again back to your example 

 c <- 1:10
 d <- c(-1,2,-3,-4,5,6,-7,8,-9,10)
 f <- cbind(c,d)
 dat <- data.frame(f)
 rm(c,d,f) ## << check to make sure 'c' or 'd' are not picked up from GlobalEnv [MM]
 ## 
 daN.lm <-lm(c ~ d, data = dat, subset = d < 0)
 summary(daN.lm)

Does this really not work for you?
