[R] ties in runif() output

[Douglas Grove]

I get ties in output from runif() when I generate as few as 10^5
variates and get quite a lot when I generate 10^6.  Is this 
expected??  I haven't seen any duplication with rnorm(10^6), but
see varying amounts of duplication using rexp(), rbeta() and
rgamma().  I would have thought that there'd be enough precision
that one wouldn't get ties until generating samples larger than this..


> set.seed(222)
> sum(duplicated(runif(10^5)))
[1] 4

> sum(duplicated(runif(10^6)))
[1] 140
