R devel - Apr 2011 - Bug report: R 2.14.0dev Sweave option width does not work

Hi!

In R 2.14.0dev (R version 2.14.0 Under development (unstable) 
(2011-04-29 r55692), Windows release 
(http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html), the line :

options(width=55)

in code chunk of an Rnw file has no effect on sweave's output text file.

The same thing in 2.13.0 worked.

WBR,

What effect do you expect?  That would only have an effect if
   - the option value was different before that line, and
   - you printed something that would differ in the two widths.

Please put together an example to illustrate what problem you're seeing.
