R random number generator

R 0.64 on windows NT 4.0

Sometimes I got an error message by doing this
[1] 1 1 2
Warning: Wrong length .Random.seed; forgot initial RNGkind? set to Wichmann-Hill[1] 0.02253721 0.84832584  ........

Sometimes I do not get error message:
[1] 1 1 2
[1] 0.5641106
Not even this got error message sometimes
[1] 0.03381877
But sometime it does
[1] 1 1 2
Warning: Wrong length .Random.seed; forgot initial RNGkind? set to Wichmann-Hill
[1] 0.02253721

Notice the result are also different. I cannot seem to pin point
when it gets or not get the error message.
