Follow-up Comment #8, bug #53299 (project octave):

@Mike: That's a potentially nasty bug.  I could see a test suite starting
Octave, querying a random seed and placing it in a file along with the results
of tests.  This should allow anyone doing debugging to pull up the file,
restore Octave to the original state, and then reproduce a failing test.  

If Octave is lying about the true value of the "state" vector then that isn't
going to work.
