Me too.  Wouldn't it suffice to do this before each
run?:

   set the randomSeed to random(4570422)

In theory, that could result in the same series of
random numbers multiple times, as the first random may
start with the same randomseed as another, thus
resulting in the same random first number, and thus
the same second number and so forth.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something that will make the dim light in my head brighter.

It would seem that resetting the randomSeed each time you use the random function would only have a 1-in-4,570,422 chance of getting the same seed as the previous run, no?
