The others have already pointed out the problem with the imperative
solution, which used the mutation of the global state with the new
random seed. Imperative approach is indeed often a problem.
As Daniel Fischer pointed out, my immediate problem was that iterateR
never finished, even though it did produce results lazily. I missed the
subtlety that access to results didn't mean access to the state.
There is a simple solution however.

module RList where

So, if I may paraphrase, oleg's solution works by reifying the implicit
continuation in my iterateR's recursive definition into a data structure
that is explicitly forced with pullR and its callers. Fascinating...
Thanks to all who responded.
