I get completely different (and correct) results,
by the way the *same* you have in the bug report you've
submitted
(https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14377)
and which does *not* show any bug:
> range(y.out)
[1] 0.0000000 0.9816907
Of course, I do believe that you've seen the above problems,
-- on 64-bit Mac ? as you report in sessionInfo() ? --
but I cannot reproduce them.
And also, you seem yourself to be able to get different results
for the same data... what are the circumstances?
