R-help,

I'm trying to do a simple box-and-whisker plot to some data.
The data are a subset of a large data frame
but when running the "boxplot" function on the subset data
all the factors are still present in the graph leaving a huge
empty space until the actuals factors are shown.
This produces a spurious box-and-whisker plot.

If the subset data are exported to another R session the problem is
gone.
Why are the factors still "remembered" by the boxplot?

Attached is a copy of the data.


Thanks in advance


## the line code
boxplot(mLength ~ puntar,data=test)
