<<insert bug report here>>


in e0171 the routine rdiscrete fails when n==1

the first few lines of code make it obvious why

> rdiscrete
function (n, probs, values = 1:length(probs), method = "inverse", 
    aliasmatrix = NULL) 
{
    if (length(probs) != length(values)) 
        stop("rdiscrete: probs and values must have the same 
length.")
    if (sum(probs < 0) > 0) 
        stop("rdiscrete: probs must not contain negative values.")
    if (n == 1) 
        return(values[sum(runif(1) > p) + 1])   ???? p is undefined at 
this point
    else {
