Dear Neal,

Although David's solution (putting the right parenthesis, which I had missed) has resolved the issue, I would like to try yours as well.

Could you please clarify the six elements:  c(-1e-8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1e8)?

Thanks and regards,

Pradip

The problem is likely due to comparisons of floating point numbers.
Try moving your lower and upper bounds out a tiny bit.  When I add

  c(-1e-8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1e8)

to the result of quantile, I don't get any NAs.
