R devel - May 2003 - surprising behaviour of "bgroup": sets all in greek letters (PR#3099)

Let me summarize the bug reported by Ulf Martin on R-help with the same 
subject line.

The code

   plot(1:10)
   text(1, 9, expression(F == bgroup("{", x, "")))

results in greek letters, which is not expected here.
That happens if the user tries to set only a left delimeter, the same with:

   text(2, 8, expression(F == bgroup("{", x, ".")))

or

   text(3, 7, expression(F == bgroup(".", x, "}")))

but it works if delimeters are specified, as in:

   text(4, 6, expression(F == bgroup("{", x, ")")))


I don't know whether I have just fixed the symptoms here (Paul ?). 
Anyway, the following fix of  .../src/main/plotmath.c  works as expected.
