[Rd] rnorm returning NA's (PR#8635)

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

This is not reproducible, and you have not told us the seed you used which 
is what is needed to make random results reproducible.

Please supply a reproducible example (if you can).  I ran the first line 
100 times (about 15 minutes) without encountering any NAs.  If you found 
these fairly easily it indicates a bug in your Windows installation, not 
one in R.  Further, if it were at all common then other people would have 
encountered it and surely mentioned it.
