Classloading MersenneTwisterRNG in turn class loads
DefaultSeedGenerator which has the following static block:
private static final SeedGenerator[] GENERATORS = new SeedGenerator[]
{
new DevRandomSeedGenerator(),
new RandomDotOrgSeedGenerator(),
new SecureRandomSeedGenerator()
};
And further rely upon an instance of java.security.SecureRandom for each fork.
I am currently tracing a complete maven surefire run with eclipse to
see if we actually call generateSeed in the tests. So far this is the
case only in TransactionTreeTest which need a fix to use the test
seed.
