[Rd] 2.8.0 release bugs (PR#13210)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Regretably we have had no clarification: posting incomplete bug reports 
and not replyng to requests for missing basic information is really bad 
manners, and please do remember this is a volunteer project (and one in 
which those doing the work have contributed support for Central European 
languages out of pure altruism).

At one guess as to the meaning of this, it is fixed in R-patched as from 
svn rev 46827.

Let's hope Mr Musek recovers his manners enough to try this out and post 
confirmation (or not).
