R devel - Dec 2002 - documentation bug in (ctest) chisq.test (PR#2346)

chisq.test with simulate.p.value=TRUE uses the Patefield algorithm, this
is not documented, and the original reference is not given, as it ought
to be. The reference is:

Patefield,W. M. (1981) An efficient method of generating r * c tables
with given row and column totals (algorithm AS 159). Applied Statistics
30, 91-97.

This has already been fixed after your earlier comments.

For your information, the original reference reads `R x C tables',
although the whole title is capitalized,  it is definitely x not *.
