Subject: [Rd] zero-extent matrices (PR#958)
Message-ID: <200105301900.VAA10463@pubhealth.ku.dk>


In 1.2.3
  matrix(nrow=10,ncol=0)%*%numeric(0)
returns a 10x1 matrix of 0s

In todays 1.3 it returns a 10x1 matrix of miscellaneous junk.

While both are probably wrong the latter is causing problems for survival.
