Bug: floating point bug in nclass.FD can cause hist() to crash
...::nclass.FD https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/grDevices/R/calc.R * base::pretty.default https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/base/R/pretty.R `nclass.FD` examines the inter-quartile range of `x`, and gets a positive, but very small floating point value -- let's call it TINYFLOAT. It inserts this ultra-low IQR into the `nclass` denominator, which means `nclass` becoms a huge number -- let's call it BIGFLOAT. `nclass.FD` then returns this huge value to `hist`. Once `hist` has its 'number of breaks' suggestion, it feeds this number to `pretty`: pretty(range(...
