In 1.7.0-patched in Windows, it's very, very slow, but eventually
produces an answer:

> qbeta(0.1, 1e-8, 0.5, TRUE, FALSE)
[1] 4.400784e-309

The answer should be really small (the mean is 2e-8, and it's strongly
skewed to the right), so I'd guess it's giving the right answer, and
is just slow to converge to it.
