Symptom: The following command in R

system("program > run.log")

would not redirect standard output to the file "run.log".

This bug did not exist on Windows XP, but appeared on Windows 7 when the same
program is run.

Please do read the help for system() on your OS. It is not a bug to do what it is documented to do! The help page gives you the workaround (and has for several years).

And a number of people using XP did start finding it this year: it seems related to a MS update.
