It occurs to me that probably there is a reason why Emacs does not seed its random number generator, and that maybe we should just not do it. Perhaps it is conventional that users who want random behavior should put `(random t)' in their init files. If it is indeed so, we should mention it in the manual. Should we ask emacs-devel for advice? (The Emacs manual does not make it clear what the accepted behavior is.) -- Daniel Brockman <address@hidden>
