I have an 84+ with 2.55MP, with no shells installed. I generated some random digits, and I was surprised to find they were all 0. Since randInt( uses the same routines as rand, I called rand several times and
obtained the same value each time: 7.636845417602 * 10^-8.
This was easily fixed by seeding rand, but what was the most probable cause?
In addition, is there a value that one can seed rand with to break the RNG and replicate this behavior?
Here are some seeds that will generate first a first value close to zero. I have not tested to see whether or not they will break rand.
