To avoid hitting the same rut on each benchmark run, start with a new

Maybe the seed used for the run should be printed to stderr, so that's
it's easy to re-run a failure?

Sounds right. But I wouldn't say stderr and would make it conditional on verbosity level:

if (verbose)
        printf(...)

Chris, would you like me to take over this jobby of fixing and improving random seeding/handling? If you got too much on your plate..
