Hi,

from the elisp manual:

 -- Function: random &optional limit
     [...]
     If LIMIT is a string, it means to choose a new seed based on the
     string's contents.

That's what it does for me, I think.  However, the docstring of `random'
does not mention string values.  Due to the docstring, strings would be
ignored.


Thanks,

Michael.
