What is `MS2000'? bug.report() cannot possibly generate that under Windows, so I presume this is some sort of Windows clone. You know, people do spend a lot of time carefully checking ports of R against known results. Did you really believe that the official R port for Windows produced pi = 0.7 on an uncorrupted operating system? Three possibilities occur to me: 1) You have defined an object called pi somewhere in your search path. 2) The base R code has been corrupted (it contains pi <- 4*atan(1), BTW) 3) Your OS has corrupted components and so is computing atan incorrectly. Try 4*atan(1). If that is incorrect, re-install your OS. If it is correct, try re-installing R (which in any case you want to do as 1.4.1 is current).

On my home machine running (I think) the same build of R but on WIN98 returns that 3.141... The basic trigometric functions return their > correct values. So it seems to be a problem in the definition of this constant.
