Comment (by steven_watanabe):

 This behavior is expected.  The iterator constructors require you to
 provide a range sufficiently large to fill the entire state of the
 generator.  Seeding with a pair of iterators is provided for backwards
 compatibility.  New code should use seed_seq (or std::seed_seq).
