Randomness not due to seed
I am working on a reproducible computing platform for which I would like to
be able to _exactly_ reproduce an R object. However, I am experiencing
unexpected randomness in some calculations. I have a hard time finding out

mylm1 <- lm(dist~speed, data=cars);
mylm2 <- lm(dist~speed, data=cars);

return(lm(dist~speed, data=cars));
}
mylm1 <- makelm();
mylm2 <- makelm();
identical(mylm1, mylm2); #FALSE
When inspecting both objects there seem to be some rou...
