Hi, FWIW I also noticed this problem and reported it on R’s Bugzilla 4 years ago:
https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16223 I actually had to report it twice because my first report (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16153) was closed after a few days and tagged as NOT REPRODUCIBLE.
