Be aware that there is a separate seed for rollouts. Use "set rollout
seed 1".

However, there is a related problem.
I find that if I set the playing seed (not the rollout seed), it is not
retained. E.g. Set Mersenne Twister seed = 1 and exit the Options...Dice
popup. Go back into the popup and the seed is some long number. (Tested
on Mersenne Twister.)

The rollout seed is retained.
