As many of you pointed out, I ignored the need to check
the seed given to the random number generator. I had
always assumed that the time variable that is used as the
default "seed" value changed relatively quickly- it
doesn't- I run a routine that generates 1000 random numbers
at once, and I can easily call it twenty times or more
before the default seed changes.
