You could report the bug on r-devel, but they are going to expect a description and code that demonstrates that there is a bug. The preferred practice is to ask on R-devel rather than submitting a bug report immediately. That's also the proper mailing list for asking questions about C-level programming concerns. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
