Committed.

The call to InitRNG for the rollout seed was introduced in gnubg.c
1.109, and had fSet = FALSE!

So this bug has been here all along. However, maybe your fix in
gtkgame.c
(http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gnubg/gnubg/gtkgame.c.diff?r1=1.399&r2=1.400&sortby=date)
is the reason why it pops up now?
