In R 2.11.0, the following code that appends data using gzfile in 'ab' mode doesn't work anymore (it worked in the previous versions):

con <- gzfile('myfile.gz', open='wb')
write.table(c(1,2,3), file=con)
close(con)
con <- gzfile('myfile.gz', open='ab')
write.table(c(4,5), file=con)
close(con)

The file contains only entries from the first call (1,2,3).

I have tried it on Windows as well as on Mac OS platforms - the same behavior.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hana Sevcikova
