I do not have a satisfactory answer, though. People seemed happy to just use a seed that works, but I'm not sure we are proving anything at all. Maybe what should be done is compute a probability of failure of the test by sampling the seeds. Of course, the unit tests would become quite expensive, so we might think of a way to carry them out optionnally. Sébastien
