I had the same problem after upgrading from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 but all I
did to fix it was rm(.Random.seed) which as far as I can tell does not
break anything. I've seldom had a use for .Random.seed so I had no
qualms.
It does niggle me slightly, though, trying to work out if this
behaviour is a feature or a bug (even if very minor).
