Subject: seg.fault for some illegal .Random.seed (new since 0.64) (PR#253)
Message-ID: <199908201218.OAA26837@pubhealth.ku.dk>


This is already in 0.64, but was okay in 0.63

In R version <= 0.63 :

    > .Random.seed <- c(111,2,3)
    > rnorm(1)
    Warning: Wrong length .Random.seed; forgot initial RNGkind? set to Wichmann-Hill
    [1] -0.4811529
    > .Random.seed
    [1]     0  6968 28861 26054
    > 

Now in 0.65 (pre-release) and both versions of 0.64 :

    > .Random.seed <- c(111,2,3)
    > rnorm(1)

  ----> Segmentation Fault

{I know that maybe, I should fix this; however, I don't have time just now,
 and in order not to forget this one...
