Pedro Giffuni No-Maintainer "Hello, I am looking at the Mersenne Twister Homepage: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/emt19937ar.html Apparently there can be a problem with slow initialization in the seeding. The new MT code offers an alternative initialization routine that admits an array of arbitrary length as a seed. This would be an interesting option to have as it would make it easier to use a random device to seed the MT generator."
