I'm using ATLAS with the SSE2 extensions, and get the same error with ATLAS
3.2.1 (packages atlas2-* 3.2.1ln-15 in Debian) and 3.6.0 (packages atlas3-*
3.6.0-19 in Debian).  I've also tried without external BLAS (--without-blas),
but the error still occurs.

The (hopefully) interesting part of tests/d-p-q-r-tests.Rout.fail:

> ## Check q*(p* ( log ), log) = identity
> All.eq(Rbeta,   qbeta    (log(Pbeta), shape1 = .8, shape2 = 2, log=TRUE))
[1] TRUE
Warning message:

Please let me know if there is more I can provide to help trace this!
