--- Comment #4 from Andrey Chernov <ache at FreeBSD.org> ---
You should not rely on PRNG sequence always remains the same, maximum you can
expect - during release. Since -current and -stable are not releases but moving
targets, it work as supposed. If you want something which _always_ produce the
same sequence, roll out your own PRNG. It is impossible to change system PRNG
otherwise.
