+- random.gauss() uses a piece of hidden state used by nothing else,
+ 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.
