Possible simple improvement; add a prim to return a seed. Each platform
can do whatever it can plausibly do (sounds like some OSs have some sort
of facility for random) and returns a number. Is a SmallInt good enough
or should we allow LPIs?

If the prim fails then we fall back to the current case and nobody is
any worse off.
