Speaking of Lua and randoms, I had read somewhere (I think on the website) that on some platforms, their random generators will always produce the same FIRST number, but everything else after that is "random". I tested this out on the Mac OS X, and yes, every FIRST number is the same, but everything else beyond that isn't.
On Linux I get the same values not only for the first, but for all random values, unless I seed with os.time, and then the first value is different everytime, too.
But as globally seeded randoms are unusable for many composition algorithms, I prefer the random module from here: http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/index.html which lets you create the equivalent of Pd's independent [random] objects in Lua.
