Reproduced on Debian and Windows ...

On 2.4.x if you execute

set.seed(12345)
t.1 <- rt(n = 1000, df = 20)

set.seed(12345)
t.2 <- rt(n = 1000, df = 20, ncp = 0)

all.equal(t.1, t.2) ## Not close to true

This appears to be due to the fact that in 2.4.x rt is now

rt
function (n, df, ncp = 0)
{
    if (missing(ncp))
                .Internal(rt(n, df))
    else rnorm(n, ncp)/sqrt(rchisq(n, df)/df)
}
<environment: namespace:stats>

Whereas in 2.3.1 rt() is verified to work as expected when someone
(redundantly) types ncp = 0

rt
function (n, df, ncp = 0)
{
    if (ncp == 0)
   .Internal(rt(n, df))
    else rnorm(n, ncp)/(rchisq(n, df)/sqrt(df))
}
<environment: namespace:stats>

The only interface difference is missing(ncp) vs. ncp == 0 .
