Set state somewhere between MT rand's 2^19937−1 cycle.
This is exactly what my patch does.
Or, to be honest, my patch provides 2^19936 possible states,
which should be more than enough.
To get all 2^19937−1, you would need to get one more bit of
entropy (2^19936 to 2^19937) and then check that the state is
not all zeros (which is the −1 in 2^19937−1). That's certainly
not worth the trouble, so I just set that one "extra" bit to 1.
(MT doesn't work if the state is all zeros.)
