May Ruby be with you.

• random.c (random_init): Clarify that the default seed is
  Random.new_seed, not zero. Based on patch by Roger Pack.
  [ruby-trunk - Bug #6313]
  • random.c (rb_f_srand): ditto.

[drbrain (Eric Hodel)]

Both Random.new and srand call Random.new_seed so I updated the documentation of each based on your patch.
