	It is important that calls to determine_random_seed with this value set to true (the default!) only occur when all nodes will reach this function at the same time with no intervening mpi calls. Beware if in a multithreaded context if a seed is set more than once (e.g. after each thread launches) as it can produce MPI-deadlock. More...
