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.
