Thank you, Jeff! I had that file, and when I removed it, that solved the
problem. Now random numbers are really random. Excellent!

Aihe: Re: [R] seed problem?
Check if you have a .RData file in your R startup directory. It may contain the
seed.
.RData files (without anything in front of the period) are dangerous... many R
users avoid them because they can easily drag in mistakes from previous
sessions to plague you.
