Congratulations on your finding the first "bad" bug in R 3.2.0 ! "bad": a true regression, i.e., a bug not present in earlier versions of R. I'm almost sure it is my fault, and I'm going to look into fixing it! For the curious ones: It was introduced with the following new feature (which implied fixing apply()'s treatment of named dimnames): • apply(m, 2, identity) is now the same as the matrix m when it has _named_ row names. > Best, > Bernd Thank you, Bernd, for the report!
