Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
The bug is what it says on the tin.
When glutCreateWindow() is called in the attached OpenGL program, the
random number generator appears to be reseeded with a predictable
number. This results in predictable output unless srand(time(NULL))
called again.
This appears to be an Intel driver specific bug; when the program was
tested on an Nvidia card in a Linux distro running a similar version of
freeglut there was no reseeding.
