+  and the .seed() and .whseed() methods failed to reset it.  In other
+  words, setting the seed didn't completely determine the sequence of
+  results produced by random.gauss().  It does now.  Programs repeatedly
+  mixing calls to a seed method with calls to gauss() may see different
+  results now.
