R devel - May 2009 - dir.create does not return a value (PR#13686)

?dir.create  (part of the base package) says that:
"dir.create and Sys.chmod return a logical vector indicating which
operation succeeded for each of the files attempted"

However, on my system it returns nothing  (whether successful or not):
> dir.create(":::@!#!::")
> dir.create('b')
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)
i386-pc-mingw32

locale:
LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United
States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United
States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252

Not a bug. Try:

print(dir.create("foo"))

or

foo <- dir.create("foo")
foo

HTH,
