Are you catching the exception?

It is permissible for:

* random_device not to be available on all systems
* random_device's constructor to throw if there was a problem connecting to
the (implementation defined) stochastic process.

In other words, you cannot rely on it not throwing. If it does, you'll have
to fall back to another method of generating random seeds for your
pseudo-random generators.
