I found a bug in the patch -- it was always running things in random order. We will of course have to do 1) above eventually, since we really want all tests to pass in any order. > 2) leave out the zero-padding from this patch, so that the default > doctest order doesn't change.

I think this should go in sage-3.4.1, since once it is there, it will be trivial for people to run the randomized tests in any order (with any seed) once sage-3.4.1 is released, and this will make it much easier for people to fix all the bugs mentioned in 1 above.
