I haven't been able to get anywhere tracking this down. It seems that
c.noquote() does
something strange with its third (and subsequent) parameters:
R-2.7.0 under NetBSD, R-2.6.0 under Solaris, and R-2.8.0 (unstable) (2008-06-10
r45893)
under WinXP, I get:
> c(noquote('z'), 'y', 'x', '*')
[1] z y x * x *
>
or:
> c(noquote('z'), 'y', '***', letters)
[1] z y *** a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p
[20] q r s t u v w x y z *** a b c d e f g h
[39] i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Again, I am only the messenger (so don't shoot me :-)).
