not really reproducible:

1) If you use random data (which is perfect),
  you need an explicit  set.seed(.) statement to make it reproducible

2) I can evaluate the code below (intel-Linux as you)
    more than 100 times without a problem.

    >> x <- seq (0.1,5,by=0.05)
    >> y <- log(x) + rnorm (x, sd=0.2)
    >> library(e1071)
    >> m <- svm (x,y)
