 Hello, I am looking at the Mersenne Twister Homepage:
 http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/emt19937ar.html


 Apparently there can be a problem with slow initialization in the seeding.
 The new MT code offers an alternative initialization routine that admits
 an array of arbitrary length as a seed.

 This would be an interesting option to have as it would make it easier to
 use a random device to seed the MT generator.
