Just a guess, but maybe all instances of the Random class are being created
with the same seed?

Subject: Re: Random controller not applied per thread
Please see the attached document.
This may be due to the the Random class works. I'd have to look it up, but each
thread gets its own instance of RandomController, each of which creates an
instance of Random on instantiation. However, if this all happens quickly, then
each Random instance may be providing the same list of random numbers. Like I
said, it's hard to tell since I don't know how Random works.
Other than that, I have no explanation - all the variables are non-static, and
RandomController gets cloned for each thread. The fact that it extends
InterleaveController has nothing to do with it far as I can tell.
