Read documentation for the routines for the specific compiler.  Symptoms
would seem to indicate the call w/ missing value to RANDOM_SEED is the
same default action as not calling it.

See other note regarding I'm not sure what Standard says or if it is
defined as compiler/implementation specific (would be my guess w/o
looking it up).
