This is not a bug (and nothing to do with the subject line).
I felt it did have to do w/ the subject line since it seemed like bug-
like behavior to me and one I thought might be simple to correct
before 2.9 if that was the case. Sorry if that caused any confusion.
As it turns out, it was just a rather silly oversight on my part and
indeed a boneheaded one at that because the behavior would have been
clear if I took a quick peak at the implementation of the plot.default
function.
Thanks for taking the time to clear it up for me.

You need to set 'ylab', e.g.
p2 <- list(x=rnorm(500), main='bug?', col='orange', type='l', ylab="")
Why? Because the default is the deparse of 'x', and that is a long
string.

I would like to remind everyone that we are in the final week of
the beta testing of R 2.9.0, so please test the binaries now!
There are installers for both the Tiger (32-bit) and Leopard (32-
bit and 64-bit) binaries at
http://R.research.att.com/
Reporting bugs right *after* the release is pointless - that's why
we are providing beta and rc builds, so please test them well
before 4/17! Post any issues you have with it here.
Sorry I can't test this directly since I'm in the middle of doing
some analysis and don't want to install 2.9 and have something
explode. But it seems like I've hit a bug in R in general (I'm
primarily on a mac, but just tested on one of your linux servers
(also R 2.8.1), and the same is happening).
R> p2 <- list(x=rnorm(500), main='bug?', col='orange', type='l')
R> do.call(plot, p2)
You see that all of the data points are *written* on the graphics
device.
Hmm, you mean their numeric values are written as the y label,
if x are ints, I don't get this problem:
R> p3 <- list(x=1:500, main='bug?', col='orange', type='l')
R> do.call(plot, p3)
They are still written as the y label, in a compact form. Nothing
to do with being 'ints', rather a colon sequence.
If you have all ints + 1 double, the problem appears:
R> p4 <- list(x=c(1:500, .5), main='bug?', col='orange', type='l')
R> do.call(plot,p4)
Is this a known bug, or am I doing something boneheaded?
