I have had the following problem with R 2.10, 2.13.1, and 2.13.2, running on Ubuntu linux 10.04, xubuntu 11.10, and a version of Redhat (I think 5). rnorm.sobol is producing impossible random values, and occasionally the routine crashes. Here are samples of the output and the crash message. library(fOptions) Zs <- rnorm.sobol(50, dimension=1)

That fix is 18 months old, so updating might be a good idea ... Ben Bolker
