I believe there is a bug in the seq() function for certain values of the "from"
argument. Here are examples:

seq(-.2, .1, .1)
[1] -0.2 -0.1  0.0  0.1
seq(-.3, .1, .1)
[1] -3.000000e-01 -2.000000e-01 -1.000000e-01  5.551115e-17  1.000000e-01
seq(-.4, .1, .1)
[1] -0.4 -0.3 -0.2 -0.1  0.0  0.1
seq(-.5, .1, .1)
[1] -0.5 -0.4 -0.3 -0.2 -0.1  0.0  0.1
seq(-.6, .1, .1)
[1] -6.000000e-01 -5.000000e-01 -4.000000e-01 -3.000000e-01 -2.000000e-01
-1.000000e-01  1.110223e-16  1.000000e-01
seq(-.7, .1, .1)
[1] -7.000000e-01 -6.000000e-01 -5.000000e-01 -4.000000e-01 -3.000000e-01
-2.000000e-01 -1.000000e-01  1.110223e-16
[9]  1.000000e-01
seq(-.8, .1, .1)
[1] -0.8 -0.7 -0.6 -0.5 -0.4 -0.3 -0.2 -0.1  0.0  0.1

So, for example,

which(seq(-.2, .1, .1) == 0)
[1] 3
which(seq(-.3, .1, .1) == 0)
integer(0)

Here are the results of the "version" command on my machine:

platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor 9.0 year 2009 month 04 day 17 svn rev 48333 language R version.string R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)
