Dear R developers,

I found a small issue while plotting contours of data containing both
"usual" and "very small" numbers. It appeared with both R 3.0.1 and
R-Devel on Windows, and I could reproduce it on Linux. Would it be
possible to solve this before the upcoming release?

I don't see the error in 32 bits, but I do see it in 64 bits.  I think
it's really unlikely this will be fixed before 3.0.2, unless you send a
well tested patch in the next few days.  Code freeze is on Wednesday.

You are right, I can reproduce it only on 64 bit.

And not even then: we would not have time to do sufficiently extensive
checking.

Agreed, so I'll put a workaround in my package for now.

Reporting to bugs.r-project.org with a patch would get the process rolling.

O.K., I will report it. After a look in the sources I would guess that it may be in:

src/main/contour-common.h

static int ctr_intersect(double z0, double z1, double zc, double *f)
{
    if ((z0 - zc) * (z1 - zc) < 0.0) {
        *f = (zc - z0) / (z1 -  z0);
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}


... but you are right, too many things depend on it.

Many thanks for the immediate feedback!

Thomas
