#88: Investigate random number usage - simulations should use different seeds

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Results of MC integration appear to be the same for repeated simulations.
 This prevents estimation of the variation due to the MC method, except
 though increasing the number of steps.
 For differentiation there is a case for always using the same seed but
 this is not required in simulations.
