There was a misunderstanding caused from the platform-dependent behavior of Roll(fixed seed), recently in Twitter.

Isn't it an unexpected behavior(aka bug)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
