Subject: [Rd] segmentation fault in integrate
Message-ID: <3A5E2A87.6864792F@ci.tuwien.ac.at>

I tried to integrate numerically a function wich is similar to the
following:

> dummy <- function(x) { exp(-1*x) * dnorm(x) }
> dummy(-100)
[1] 0
> dummy(-1000)
[1] NaN
> dummy(-10000)
[1] NaN

If I choose the lower boundary to be too small integrate causes a
segmentation fault:

> library(integrate)
> integrate(dummy, -100, 0)$value
[1] 1.387143
> integrate(dummy, -1000, 0)$value
[1] NaN
Warning message:
Ifail=1, maxpts was too small. Check the returned relerr! in: adapt(1,
lower, upper, minpts, maxpts, functn, eps, ...)
> integrate(dummy, -10000, 0)$value
Segmentation fault

I'm running R.1.2.0 on Debian Linux.

Achim
