Good find.  While the srand() call in nbase_rnd.c shouldn't be
repeating, maybe the main.cc one is clobering it so soon afterward
that tv.tv_usec hasn't changed on Windows.  In other words, Windows
must not be good at updating tv.tv_usec .  Maybe we should just change
one of the srand calls to use a different seeding mechanism.
