[R] random permuted block randomization

[Greg Snow]

Sorry, that is a stupid bug in the blockrand function.  I will hunt down the author and slap him upside the head until he fixes it (actually I will probably just raid his freezer and eat his ice cream).

In the mean time there is a simple work around, if you run blockrand like:

> blockrand(40, block.sizes=c(4,4))

Then it will force all the block sizes to be 8.

Look for a new version of blockrand on CRAN soon with this fixed.

I have tried blockrand but it works in a way that it keeps altering the block
size.. like it alternates between 8,6,12. I want a constant block size of 8
