I get ties in output from runif() when I generate as few as 10^5 variates and get quite a lot when I generate 10^6. Is this expected?? I haven't seen any duplication with rnorm(10^6), but see varying amounts of duplication using rexp(), rbeta() and rgamma(). I would have thought that there'd be enough precision that one wouldn't get ties until generating samples larger than this..
