BTW, I think there is a problem with the way the argument seed is used
in the new simulate in stats. The problem is that repeated calls to
simulate using the default argument will introduce a new pattern into
the RNG:
stats:::simulate
function (object, nsim = 1, seed = as.integer(runif(1,

Miktex-- even a total Latex bunny like me got it to work instantly, so

side of RCMD CHECK.
Now the question/buglet. One of my Rd files contains the
