Just to add to the confusion, on my system I get NA --- which I
understand to be
the correct value --- from all of min(NA,"bla"), min("bla",NA),
min(c(NA,"bla")), and
min(c("bla",NA)).  When I append the argument na.rm=TRUE to each of the
calls,
I get "bla" from each.

So, no bug in my system.

Very strange.  I suspect it's the fact that you're upside-down :-).

Ah, but we are actually the right way up!!!

Hmm. I got an email from arun saying that he was using Linux and R 3.0.2 --- so I conjecture for a while that perhaps the bug had been introduced in going from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2. (So maybe everybody should downgrade.) But then I got messages from Sarah Goslee and from Don McKenzie saying that they were using Linux and R 3.0.1
as well, and the bug showed up for them.   So it is all very mysterious.

Good luck in tracking down the problem.

    cheers,
