The following computation never finishes and locks R up:
> values <- list(x=10:30, y=c(23.85, 28.805, 28.195, 26.23, 25.005, 20.475,
17.33, 14.97, 11.765, 8.857, 5.3725, 5.16, 4.2105, 2.929, 2.174
Peter Dalgaard reminded me to be more specific about my computing platform;
it's Debian 4.1.1-19 on a 32-bit Pentium 4 machine (Dell Optiplex GX620).
The problem I described (nls not returning) also occurs with different data at
other values of the scal parameter.
