"Crashes" is not a clear description. When I execute the statement:
set.seed(seed)
I get the error
Error in set.seed(seed) : object 'seed' not found
which makes sense because there is no variable defined that is called "seed".
Choose a literal value like 42:
set.seed(42)
or define the variable
seed <- 42
set.seed(seed)
and you should not get that error.
If you get a different error message, then give us a better clue how to
reproduce it. (Also, please post plain text email as the Posting Guide
requests. You have read that, right?)
