Comment (by rcurtin):

 I think the issue you've pointed out with random seeds was fixed in
 r17395: up until then, `math::RandomSeed()` wasn't setting the random seed
 properly for Armadillo matrices.  The reason that the seeds aren't
 initialized to `std::time(NULL)` or whatever is for the sake of
 reproducibility.  So if a particular test fails on some system, one can
 simply connect to the machine, get the compiled `mlpack_test`, and then
 use that to reproduce the issue.  At least, that's the idea. :)
