[R] read.table bug

[Li Dongfeng]

Suppose we have a data file containing:

"Smith, John", 120, 90
"Thomson, Peter", 110, 85

there are 3 variables in it. If we use 

x <- read.table("tmp.txt", sep=",")

to read the data to a data.frame,
the result will be 4 columns.
Splus 4.0 have no problem with this kind
of data.
