Dear R-Developers and -Community,

after compiling and installing R 1.2.2., I started 'demo(graphics)' for
a test, and got:

'Error in rnorm(0): .Random.seed(0) is not a Normal type'

Obviously .Random.seed was not initialized appropriately. Following the
the documentation for '.Random.seed' [see below 'Examples'], this can be
fixed
          rm(.Random.seed); runif(1); .Random.seed

and all seems to work nicely.

But two questions remain:
- was this my fault, is it intended, or are corrections inside R necessary ?
- are there any other objects in R, which unintentionally are not initialized
  at start? (This may lead to unobserved errors.)

      Thank you for a great System !! Best wishes - Hartmut Oldenbürger
