R 1.5.1 not working with Windows NT on Virtual PC 4 (PR#1932)
1) What is `Virtual PC 4'? 2) Why did you send this as a bug report to R-bugs? R does run on Windows NT, and does not claim to run under `Virtual PC 4'. So this cannot be considered to be a bug in R. I would have thought you would be sending the bug report to the vendors of `Virtual PC 4'. A request on R-help might have been appropriate.

R 1.5.1 not working with Windows NT on Virtual PC 4 (PR#1932)
This is a bug in Virtual PC [Virtual PC is a PC emulator for Mac OS].
It seems to have been introduced in 4.0 and is still there in 5.0. It
isn't there in 3.0. I reported it to Connectix and the upshot was that
they don't care. I gave them a simple program that reproduces it,
----------------------------------(itest.c)------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
double R_Zero_Hack = 0.0;
double R_PosInf, R_NegInf;
main()
{
R_PosInf = 1.0/R_Zero_Hack;
R_NegInf = -1.0/R_Zero_Hack;
printf("%g %g\n", R_PosInf, R_NegInf);
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This should produce
1.#INF -1.#INF
and does on an intel machine and on VPC 3.03. But on VPC 4.02 and 5.0
it produces
1.#INF 1.#INF
If a few more people complain to connectix maybe something will
happen. Virtual PC is nice in many ways; in fact I can build the
windows version of R on it with no problems. But to run the R tests
or do anything useful with R I have to switch to 3.03, which I keep
around for that reason. It's pretty annoing.
