R help - May 2010 - should srt= in text()/par() recycle its parametres or not?

Dear R-users,

I bumped into an unusual behaviour when a parametre is not recycled.

Using text() with srt= values (turn string by an angle), srt=10*c(1:8), or
even srt=c(1:2) and ploting my eight names to their values in the plot(),
gives the following error:
graphical parameter "srt" has the wrong length

srt seems to accept only one number. IMO, it should accept a vector and
recycle that if necessary.

Can somebody confirm this behaviour true/false, please?

Cheers, Z
