Comment (by pram):

 Replying to [comment:1 rcurtin]:
 > Use `math::RandomSeed(seed)` to set the seed.  The reason srand()
 doesn't work is because the Random() functions use the Boost random number
 library, which is "immune" to srand, instead preferring its own seeding
 mechanism.

 working on that...).
