I don't see this bug (in r-devel r40818) but there are two changes between
40814 and 40818 that might have fixed it.

Dear list,
I may have found a bug in model.frame.default (called by the lm function).
The problem arises in my R dev version but not in my R 2.4.0.
Here is my config :

version.string R version 2.5.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-03-04
r40813)
Now a simple example to (hopefully) reproduce the bug (after a
rm(list=ls())):
> dat=data.frame(y=rnorm(10),x1=runif(10),x2=runif(10))
> weights=1:10/(sum(1:10))
> form <- as.formula("y~x1+x2")
# here is the error
> lm(form,data=dat,weights=weights)
Erreur dans model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras,
extranames, :
type (closure) incorrect pour la variable '(weights)'
(sorry, error message is in French)
As I said, these commands works using R.2.4.0 (same machine, same OS).
Moreover, the following commands work:
> temp=weights
> lm(form,data=dat,weights=temp)
This currently seems to cause a check fail in the ade4 package. I tried
to find out where the bug came from: all I found is the (potential) bug
comes from model.frame.default, and more precisely:
debug: data <- .Internal(model.frame(formula, rownames, variables,
varnames,
extras, extranames, subset, na.action))
Browse[1]>
Erreur dans model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras,
extranames, :
type (closure) incorrect pour la variable '(weights)'
I couldn't go further because of the .Internal. I tried to googlise
this, but I found no such problem reported recently.
Can anyone tell if this is actually a bug? (In case not, please tell me
where I got wrong).
Regards,
Thibaut.
