Try running your program with the "-s" or "-S <seed>" option. The first
option sets a random seed for the random number generators. The 2nd
option is only available if u're running pretests version of Swarm 2.2.

Without either option, the seed for RNGs defaults to the default value.
Sorry, don't know what that is.
