That version is ancient...by now there is R 1.6.2 > for several times and results were different. > Why do the shapiro.test produce different outputs? If you generate random numbers by rt() you would expect the output to be different in each run, wouldn't you? If you generate the random numbers first: R> x <- rt(2000,30) and then run the test R> shapiro.test(x) it will indeed produce stable results.
