[R] error message: .Random.seed is not an integer vector but of type 'list'

[Jim Bouldin]

I'm trying to run this simple random sample procedure and keep getting the
error message shown. I don't understand this; I've designated x as a
numeric vector, so what is going on here?  Thanks.

> x = as.vector(c(1:12));x
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12
> mode(x)
[1] "numeric"
> sample(x, 3)
Error in sample(x, 3) : 
  .Random.seed is not an integer vector but of type 'list'
