R SIG Debian - May 2010 - R 2.11 on Ubuntu 9.10 does not complain abt unexisting objects

Hi

I recently updated to R 2.11 and see a strange problem. When run into 
the console, R does not warn when calling an unexisting object, see 
below. I don't know if this is related, but I am not able to run the R 
CMD BATCH properly... Did someone see a similar problem? Which 
information can I provide more on this problem?

Thanks for help!

Matthieu

How did you start R?  What other irregular settings could you have?

I doubt this has anything to do with R 2.11.0 or any other version.  You may
have hosed something else on your system.
