Hi! Here's thing I’m confused about…if I use [random] to generate some numbers 
on startup, it appears to have different behaviour on macOS and on linux 
(running on a raspberry pi). 

With a very simple patch generate a stream of random numbers using [random] 
(with no seed) and printing to console, on macOS it will create a different 
random set every time I launch the patch. On linux, it will generate the same 
set of numbers each time the patch is launched. It feels to me like the 
[random] object on linux is using the same seed each time, whereas on macOS it 
is either using a new seed each time or just not using a seed at all (if that’s 
possible, I’m clearly no random number specialist). 

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
Yann
