R help - Jan 1998 - R-beta: losing attributes in binary ops

Thanks to Thomas Lumley for the very quick fix of the NextMethod(.Generic)
bug.  The patch enclosed in his message to r-help fixed that problem
nicely. 

But..., I've got another one.

	x <- 1:4
	attr(x,"foo") <- "bar"	
	attributes(x < 4)

returns NULL.

The "foo" attribute has been lost in the "x < 4"
operation.
The blue book says that the result of binary operations should have
the attributes of the longer operand.

Thanks,
Gordon Maclean
