R devel - Oct 2006 - dump (PR#9282)

Full_Name: Ricardo Ehlers
Version: 2.4.0
OS: Linux
Submission from: (NULL) (200.138.34.134)


The dump function is outputing something different from previous versions. For
example
> a <- c(1,2,3); dump('a',file='test')
now results in `a` <- c(1,2) instead of "a" <- c(1,2) in the
file 'test'

This prevents using the bayesmix package and running JAGS from within R in an
automatic fashion.

This is not an error in R: the later format is more correct R.  Those 
packages have made unwarranted assumptions about the format produced by 
dump(), so please reports bugs in them to their maintainers.
