Indeed, this works on PPC, too:
sage: set_random_seed(100)
sage: current_randstate().set_seed_gap()
sage: gap.eval('List([1..10],i->Random(1,100000));')
'[ 80761, 80557, 8462, 25730, 32000, 92371, 85402, 52347, 17181,
2889 ]'
sage: gap_console()
GAP4, Version: 4.4.12 of 17-Dec-2008, powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0-gcc
gap> List([1..10],i->Random(1,100000));
[ 96343, 43659, 75071, 1314, 40740, 69892, 10586, 31272, 96336,
26794 ]
Sorry for being confused.
I wonder how does GAP pick up the seed? (Don't even know where to look
in the code...)
On the other hand, how would one call
current_randstate().set_seed_gap() from GAP?
(that's the thing that would be needed to fix GAP's misbehaviour...)
