I am obtaining the value -1.#IND0 in computing a value.

The formula used for the computation is

r = s + u2*sqrt(u1/(1-u1)) where u2 and u1 are uniform random numbers between [0 1].

Sometimes the value is -1.#IND0 and sometimes it is not.
I am unable to understand the reason for this. I would be grateful for any help.
