[R] Strange Bug in R

[Pascal Oettli]

Hello,

1) Please don't put rm(list=ls()) in a script you submit to this list.
This is considered as bad manner.

2) Please read https://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Why-doesn_0027t-R-think-these-numbers-are-equal_003f
and http://stackoverflow.com/a/9508558/3710546

Regards,
Pascal
