The following code prints [1] 2, as it should

However, this code prints [1] 3:
temp<-function(sb,...){ print(sb) } temp(2,s=3)
It should still print [1] 2. It appears that if a variable in ... begins with the same letter as another variable, the value in the variable in ... overwrites the value in the variable with the same first letter.
I didn't see this bug reported elsewhere.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?
You are missing something. Mainly, reading section 4.3 of "R Language Definition", which should come with your distribution or is accessible from CRAN.
