  It depends a lot on your initial seed values. If you are very unlucky,
the second number you get from stream 1 will be the same as the first
number you got from stream 2, and it will then begin to give the same
numbers from that point forward.
  Of course in theory the chance of this happening is 1/(2^32), that is,
extremely unlikely, but possible. :)
