[Rd] typo in R online manual (PR#7200)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

That is a mistake at your own department's site, but not in the current R
sources.  It seems those docs are from R 1.2.2!  Even R 1.6.2 has the 
correct formula.

Please ask whoever maintains that site to correct it, and don't expect the 
R team to fix problems in 3.5 year old versions of R.
