The fact that you consider *not* putting the seed before the calls to rand()
makes me think you're using it wrong. I have never experienced the behavior
you're describing.

Are you doing it like this?

#declare mySeed = seed(123);

...

#declare randomNumber = rand(mySeed);

The important thing here is that you pass the seed variable into the rand
function.
