[R] minor quirk in rnbinom

I don't want to spoil a nice joke, and recognise it's not a bug as it does
have the intended effect, but the error message that is returned if rnbinom
is given four parameters is slightly obscure:

> rnbinom(0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5)
Error in rnbinom(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5) : couldn't find function "error"
>

Cheers,

Mike.
