Re: [Quantlib-dev] test suite issue

[Mark j. <mar...@gm...>]

I think the issue is that it uses Mersenne to randomize which uses
time to set the seed. So most of the time it passes but once in a
while it fails. This is essentially correct behaviour but annoying.
I'm thinking the best solution is to set the seed in the Mersenne
manually.
