[R] pretty not pretty

[Ott Toomet]

Hi,

I have a following vector:

> smallch
 [1]  0.0652840  0.1181300  0.0319370  0.0155700  0.0464110  0.0107850
 [7]  0.0158970  0.0375900  0.0603090  0.0310300  0.0105920  0.0540580
[13] -0.0177740  0.0039393

Pretty (R 1.5.1) has problems with zero:

> pretty(smallch)
[1] -2.000000e-02 -3.469447e-18  2.000000e-02  4.000000e-02  6.000000e-02
[6]  8.000000e-02  1.000000e-01  1.200000e-01

You notice -3.46e-18 instead of 0.  Is this feature changed in 1.6.0,
or are there any simple ways to get around of it?
