It is not a good random number generator and depends on a kernel to
start it. If you run it twice in the same second you will get
identical results. I really should fix this somehow. Computers are
faster now so one could do more initializing. But the real-time clock
is still in integer seconds.
I will modify the initializer so that when you are a few seconds apart
you get quite different numbers.
