We are really sorry about the problems people are having with Version
0.6 of Classic BUGS.

I'm afraid that's the old MVN bug - it works fine in Version 0.5

It appears both loggam and logfact give the wrong answer: ie the
correct answer -.918 .

Yes, probit is crashing when used as a function on the right
hand side of a logical expression.
We are very embarrassed about these bugs. All our recent effort has been spent
on WinBUGS but we will blow the dust off Classic BUGS and get these things sorted.
The FAQ and the Classic readme will have warnings added.
If it's any consolation, a new version of WinBUGS (with much improved manual!)
will be on the website tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience.
David (for the BUGS team)
