Yes, the "Resid. Dev" column is only there in analysis of deviance tables. For 
the lm() case, it looks like you should have "RSS". 

This has probably been there "forever". Just goes to show how often people use 
these things...

Also, now that I'm looking at it, are we calculating it correctly in any case? 
We have

        cbind(table, Cp = table[, "Resid. Dev"] + 2 * scale * 
            (n - table[, "Resid. Df"]))

whereas all the references I can find have Cp=RSS/MS-N+2P, so the above would 
actually be scale*Cp+N.
