I believe you will find this is already fixed in R-patched and R-devel as the logs say (2005-10-07) r35790 Fixed a typo in aqua R code and it seems to be that line. On Thu, 3 Nov 2005, G.

Please update your R.app either from the R release or the nightly builds page: http://research.att.com/~urbanek/R/ As Brian was saying, the error was fixed in R immediately after the release - strangely enough no one reported the error during the alpha and beta cycle although both the GUI and R binaries were available for download :(.
