[R] gremlin in rep()

I tried it on NT 4 SP 6 R-1.1.0 and it crashes too.

If you try rep(1:3, c(1,3)) you'll get:

Error in rep(1:3, c(1, 3)) : invalid number of copies in "rep"

It look's like R doesn't like the negative number in your case. It would
be
nice if it would give the same error message in both case.

[R] gremlin in rep()

This is what I got in Splus 2000:
> rep(1:3,c(4,5,-6))Error in rep.int: Negative values in "times" meaningless: rep.int(x,
times)

Seems like rep() is R is lacking some error traps.

That's interesting, because, under Splus 2000 (R 1.1.0), I get:

[R] gremlin in rep()

NO, sorry, I am using NT 4.0.  I guess I was confused by someone else's
writing Splus 2000.
Under NT 4.0, R 1.1.0, the following crashes R:
> rep(1:3, c(4,2,-6))
but I still do get this:
> rep(1:3,c(4,5,-6))[1] 1 1 1

and the following:
>  rep(1:3,c(2,5,-6))[1] 1

My apologies to the list.
