I tested "RNGkind" and got the follwing output.
The firt command set the normal generator to the Buggy one without
warning.
I'm expecting the warning message will always be given whenever you set to
the Buggy one.
RNGkind(normal.kind="Buggy")
RNGkind()
[1] "Mersenne-Twister" "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage"
RNGkind(normal.kind="Buggy Kinderman-Ramage")
Warning message:
In RNGkind(normal.kind = "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage") :
Buggy version of Kinderman-Ramage generator used.

Could you please supply complete details, including an example to
reproduce the error message you get.
The "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" error message is produced when you try to
force the use of an old RNG that is known to have bugs. Usually it
should not appear, so I think you are doing something unusual.
And undocumented -- "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" is not a documented value for
normal.kind, so what happens when you use it (or any other undocumented
value) is undefined. (It is not a bug to fail to pick up every user error.)

Unfortunately, RNGkind is buggy. It will not generate warnings
except the full name "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" is supplied for normal.kind.
match.arg is supposed to be called before "==" comparison.
Quote your authority for this, please!
