[R] mathematical expression in legend

The following works for me on 1.4.0 (yukky alignment which should be fixed
in 1.4.1) ...

    plot(1:20, pch=rep(1:2, c(9, 11)))
    legend(6, 4, c(expression(x < 10), expression(x >= 10)), pch=1:2)

Could you let us know where it says that -- sounds like it will need fixing.
Thanks.

Paul
