Subject: [Rd] substitute() bug? (PR#10525)
Message-ID: <20071221164531.D64372834632@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

The first four lines of code below work as normal.  The fifth thorows  
an error: "Error in paste(theta[1], "=", 5) : object "theta" not found"


x=rnorm(1000);
bob=density(x);
topp=5;
plot(bob,xlab="", ylab="",  
main=substitute(paste(theta[1],"=",topp),list(topp=topp)), type="l");
plot(bob$y~bob$x,xlab="", ylab="",  
main=substitute(paste(theta[1],"=",topp),list(topp=topp)), type="l");


Note that theta is not defined anywhere:

ls()
  [1] "bob"      "dline"    "dplot"    "dpt"      "less"     "lesseq"
  [7] "more"     "moreeq"   "peak"     "peakline" "peakplot" "pop"
[13] "topp"     "x"
