Hi,

(cc-ing Robert Withers as he seems to be working with cryptography and security... as this seems related and may have some implications, but I am likely wrong about the implications)

yesterday I've encountered a very surprising behavior

I executed the same script `10 atRandom` on the same image without saving it and got the same output:

while true; do pharo-vm --nodisplay latest.image --no-default-preferences eval '10 atRandom' done 10 10 10 10 10 10

Not so random… not random at all.
