So you get exactly the same chain, numerically, when rerunning the same model, 
with the same number of iterations, everything the same.?

Wouldnt that be problematic if every researcher in the world who uses winbugs 
uses the same sequence of random numbers?

R's random numbers are different each time, because the seed is linked to the 
clock in your PC.
