R help - Jul 2009 - Simple cat statement - output truncated

I have a statement:

    cat("myforecast ETS(", paste(object$components[1],
object$components[2], object$components[3], object$components[4], sep =
","), ") ", n, "\n")

That generates:

cast ETS( A,N,N,FALSE )  3 

Anyone guess as to why the first 5 letters are truncated/missing?

You are probably being punished for posting non-reproducible code*.

When I try a reproducible version of the line above, things look fine:

 > cat("myforecast ETS(",
paste("A","N","N",FALSE, sep = ","),
") ", 3,
"\n")
myforecast ETS( A,N,N,FALSE )  3
