 > seeds() is always called with fixed values (12345 and 67891). Either
 call G_srand48() with a fixed value (if repeatability is important), or
 call G_srand48_auto() for a non-deterministic seed (if it isn't), or add a
 seed= option to the modules.

 Done in r63216 and backported. The seed is fixed value.
