I think I can understand the need for your request, but I am wondering is the random function correct for that kind of purpose. I think the main function is to generate random sequence and more random is better. I think the random seed was invented to solve the problem of not enough randomness? Kimmo I'd say it would be prudent to switch to a predictable pseudo-random-sequence as soon as someone has called random_seed() with a non-zero parameter. If random_seed() is not being called, then it does not matter, and faster and more random is better.
