Thanks. I can condense this to > M <- matrix(1,23170,23170) ; diag(M) <- 0 ; range(colSums(M)) [1] 23169 23169 > M <- matrix(1,23171,23171) ; diag(M) <- 0 ; range(colSums(M)) [1] 0 23170 and the fact that 2^14.5 is 23170.48 is not likely to be a coincidence... It is only happening with some of my builds, though. In particular, my MacPorts build of 3.0.1 does not have the problem on Snow Leopard, nor does the CRAN build of 3.0.0, still on Snow Leopard. It takes forever to check on a 4GB machine.... -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
