I just installed octave-forge's rand.oct to accompany Octave 2.1.71 and I 
can tell you that it works as Steve had hoped.  The rand('state',0) 
command produces a row vector of 625 elements:

size(rand('state',0))
ans =

    1  625

The vector produced by rand('state',0) is the same every time I run it.
