	Well, that's a relief.  It's nice to know that the paranoids aren't
	really after me! :-)

	'Sa'right.  I've committed more egregious sins myself.

	BTW, the workaround that I've found is to run R with the --no- 
restore-data flag
	and then explicitly load .RData in my .Rprofile *before* I do the  
reading in of
	.Random.seed.

	Of course if I were to run R without the --no-restore-data flag,  
then .RData
	would get loaded twice; once from explicit load in .Rprofile, and  
once from
	what the ``system'' does.  But that only wastes a few electrons.
