Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Random.self_init in Jane Street Core

oh dear! i think i know what happened. self_init has never been called in t=
he first place! it requires a unit argument which i did not give it, so the=
 =93alias=94 to Random.self_init was assigned to nothing, so to speak, inst=
ead of calling the function.=20

Many thanks, Dmitry! I=92ve amended that line to let () =3D Random.self_ini=
t () and it works.
