I disagree.  The example is just that a short example
that demonstrates how to use random_seed.  Anyone using
that example in his/her code without testing the results
in his/her potentially broken environment should not be
programming.

Obviously I test the code before using it, and it worked fine since oct. 2010 on different systems: Fedora, Ubuntu, Kubuntu and also on Cygwin (as long as one uses GCC-4.5). It is only recently, with GCC >= 4.7, I noticed the problems on Cygwin.

BTW, I changed the method to initialize the random seed more than a month ago.

Ciao,
 Angelo.
