My own experience is that seed() values less than 1 result in *almost*
NON-varying rand()values--in my animation test, anyway, when extracting only
one rand() number per frame--so I'm guessing that POV rounds the seed value up
or down to an integer before pulling a rand()sequence. Using something like
seed(pi*frame_number) produces a pattern as well.
