[Atomicglobalmin-mail] Random Number Bug

[Seth C. <set...@ya...>]

Hello,

If you downloaded the atomic global minimum locator between December 23rd, 2010 
and March 5th, 2011 (versions 1.3.2, 1.3.3, and 1.4.0), please note there was an 
error in the program's random number generation.  The random number generator 
was being seeded using a constant, rather than the current time stamp and the 
rank of the mpi process.  The effect of this error was that identical runs 
produce the same results.  I turned this on during testing and failed to turn it 
off before releasing the program.  This is not a critical error unless you are 
repeating identical runs or doing simulated annealing with the -i option.  To 
correct the error, please download the latest software release, version 1.4.1.

Best Regards,
Seth Call
