[Rd] Unexpected behaviour of x[i] when i is a matrix, on Windows

Hi,

when running the following on different instances of R (Linux and 
Windows), I get different results. The one for Linux seems to be the 
intended / documented one. When using numeric indices rather than 
characters, Windows seemed to behave as expected.

-----------On Windows--------------

x = matrix(FALSE, nrow=3, ncol=3)
colnames(x) = LETTERS[1:3]
rownames(x) = letters[1:3]
x

#       A     B     C
# a FALSE FALSE FALSE
# b FALSE FALSE FALSE
# c FALSE FALSE FALSE

x [ cbind("b", "B") ] = TRUE
x
                                                           b     B
# FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE

[Rd] Unexpected behaviour of x[i] when i is a matrix, on Windows

You're comparing 2.10.0 on Windows with 2.11.0 on Linux.
Have you tried 2.11.0 on Windows? => same result as on Linux.

AFAICT this has nothing to do with the platform but with using an  
older R version in Windows that doesn't support it  ...

 From NEWS:

                 CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.11.0
[...]
NEW FEATURES
[...]
     o   n-dimensional arrays with dimension names can now be indexed
         by an n-column character matrix. The indices are matched
         against the dimension names.  NA indices are propagated to the
         result.  Unmatched values and "" are not allowed and result
in
         an error.


Cheers,
Simon
