To avoid this behaviour, it's best to NOT give a seed at all. Or to provide a seed that is always different (like the operating system's clock time).
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 ;-)
