Using an un-seeded RNG with the hashlet code requires patching 
out the protections which the code offers.  This seems a lot 
like complaining that it hurts when you stick a fork in your 
eye

You were running something based on another's code, but 
after removing the in-built  guarding.  It is NOT:
	./hashlet random

How is this a fair test?
