I'm pretty sure you're wrong:
The NEWS file for 1.8.0 contains

Hence, compared to 1.7.1, glm() in your (still very outdated!!)
version 1.8.1 will by default use more iterations and may well
converge in cases it didn't in 1.7.1
If there weren't such cases, the change wouldn't have been
worth!

Note that even if you were right, your bug report would be
basically unusable as bug report and we ask to
PLEASE only send bug reports (to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is) if you know
how to do it -- i.e. if you have read that section in the R FAQ.
