Yes, but you were suggesting that non-use of log1p caused the problem, and the
source clearly uses it
Hi,
I'm sorry, I do not clearly understand.
I'm aware that the source is available at :
http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/nmath/qgeom.c
But a good source does not mean a correct result, because of
compilation issues. Moreover, I do not fully understand why the 1e-7

Hi,
With R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26) on Windows, I computed the p=1.e-20
quantile of the geometric distribution with parameter prob=0.1.
qgeom(1.e-20,0.1)
[1] -1
But this is not possible, since X=0,1,2,...
I guess that this might be a bug in the quantile function, which should
use the l
