Hello!

I am using csound "Csound version 5.09" provided by the rpm for
openSuSE.

I will give here a minimal example in order to demonstrate a problem
that I encountered.

Have a look at the file at the end of this message. It creates 4 random
notes. Having set "seed 0" I get once a result, that I consider
interesting. Csound gives in the output info

	Seeding from current time 1061022902

So next time I set "seed 1061022902" in order to keep this trajectory.
But I get a different one as Csound outputs

	Seeding with 1061022912

What am I understanding incorrectly? How could I set the seed at the
desired value (the one that gave me a satisfactory result when seed was
set to 0)?

Thanks for any help

Alexandros
