Precisely my first two attempts! I gave a seed from [shell] which gave 
current time, or none at all. The progression seemed pretty much the 
same no matter what.

Like I said, I remember it worked different on windoze, so I wonder if 
it has anything to do with PD's access to the random number pool in 
Linux. I guess that's one for Miller or Guenter to puzzel over ;-)
