99.5% of the 1 million values were distributed between just 38 values out of 1024 possible values. Hmmm.... does not seem to be a wide "seed" range by any means :frowning:

Comments / Thoughts welcome.

That's what cryptographers use hash functions for - take a sample of the bottom bits of the values and put them through a hash function (CRC32, MD5...whatever size you need).
