R devel - Jun 2004 - qbinom(p, size, prob = 0, lower.tail = FALSE) hangs (PR#6972)

Submission from: (NULL) (64.166.16.252)



a call like qbinom(0.3, 10, prob = 0, lower.tail = FALSE) hangs R. prob = 0 does
not
look interesting, but it can be useful for completeness when qbinom is part of
other general routines.

please see PR#5900 (Accuracy-fixed).
