In the new version 0.90.0, rbind won't take a vector and a matrix from me,
but works OK if I coerce the vector to a matrix. The following was run on
a new session (i.e., no prior work), and has been duplicated on 2
machines: an SGI running Irix 6.5, and an Intel box running Red Hat Linux
6.0.
Either case works fine in version 0.65.1.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I missing something? Has anyone else come across this problem? Or is
this a new feature? I don't see anything in the documentation; indeed,
it says (in the help for cbind and rbind):
When the arguments consist of a mix of matrices and vectors the number of
columns (rosw) of the result is determined by the number of columns (rows)
of the matrix arguments. Any vectors have their values recycled or
subsetted to achieve this length.
Thanks,
Matt
