[CMS-PIPELINES] How random is the random stage?

[Bob Cronin]

If "n" virtual machines all running the same code all invoke a PIPE command
that uses the random stage without a seed specified and they all do it at
very nearly the same instant in time, will they all generate the same
sequence of random numbers? I have evidence that suggests this is true (and
if so, I need to come up with a scheme to add a seed that will be different
for each virtual machine).
