This appears to work as expected although I don't have enough
intuition to know if these numbers are plausible beyond rough
guess( diag of course is one LOL), 

> df<-data.frame(a=rnorm(100), b=runif(100),c=runif(100)+rnorm(100))

'data.frame':   100 obs. of  3 variables:
 $ a: num  0.1841 0.2296 -1.2251 0.0898 -0.961 ...
 $ b: num  0.586 0.343 0.821 0.41 0.352 ...
 $ c: num  -0.373 2.225 0.102 1.186 -0.737 ...
> cor(df)
           a           b           c
