[Help-gsl] RNG and threads

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hello, are all the RNGs supposed to generate independent streams of 
numbers when they are declared in separate threads? I'm seeing some 
strange results with the ranlxs0, but mt19937 seems to behave as 
expected. In the manual it says

"Each instance of a generator keeps track of its own state, allowing the 
generators to be used in multi-threaded programs."

But when I run my OpenMP-parallelized program with ranlxs0, both threads 
produce the exact same results! With mt19937 I get different results for 
each thread (which is expected since I always seed with the thread 
identification number 0, 1, 2, ...).

Best regards,
