I have the following:

 > randomList::Int->[Double]
 > randomList seed = randoms (mkStdGen seed)::[Double]

 randomList 2342 on Linux/amd64 differs from Linux/x86 and Mac/PPC (all i
 were able to find out)

 on Linux/x86 it is the same as on Mac/PPC.

 is that a bug ?  mkStdGen should produce proper (reproduceable)
 Pseudorandomnumbers but they are not inter-OS-reproduceable
