Thanks for the report. Fixed in R-devel in r80530; will port to
R-patched soon.
Best,

Hello:
Here is a bit of R-code:
mvr
[1] 2.2658
(sin(.Last.value)+sin(2*.Last.value))
[1] -0.2156507
acos((-sqrt(17)-1)/8)
[1] 2.2658
(sin(.Last.value)+sin(2*.Last.value))
[1] 1.76745
(sin(mvr)+sin(2*mvr))
[1] -0.2156507
Note that my variable mvr is the value of acos((-sqrt(17)-1)/8). However, if
I use .Last.value after invoking the acos function in a further calculation, I
get a nonsensical result. What is going on?
I am running R version 4.0.0 (2020-04-24) on an iMac, operating system MacOS
11.4 “Big Sur”.
