[Bug-gnubg] I still have a small problem with the dice generator.

Hi all!

The first game I start, this happens in the code:
NewGame() calls RollDice().

RollDice() in dice.c line 1047 calls genrand_int32().

in genrand_int32() in mt19937ar.c line 123:

~    if (*mti == N+1)   /* if init_genrand() has not been called, */
~        init_genrand(5489UL,mt); /* a default initial seed is used */

The above condition comes TRUE, and the dice seed is set to 5489.
This makes every first game of a match/session exactly the same. Starts
with 51, 66, 61, 62 ....

The strange thing is that the condition becomes TRUE, because
init_genrand() is called earlier in the in the code (even several times).

Can someone explain? Can someone with the right knowledge fix?
