Hi,

It ran smoothly on my installation.

> version  
         _                      
platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
arch     powerpc                
os       darwin6.8              
system   powerpc, darwin6.8     
status                          
major    1                      
minor    9.1                    
year     2004                   
month    06                     
day      21                     
language R                      

Typical lines from top (if it helps anything; around 45-50k
iterations):

1225 R.bin       90.7%  2:55:12   1    62  1164  71.7M+ 13.7M  66.6M+  228M+
1225 R.bin       78.6%  3:18:27   1    62  1606  81.3M+ 13.7M  75.5M+  234M+

Best,
