Random controller does not seem to be very random

           Summary: Random controller does not seem to be very random
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 1.8
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: seade@backstagetech.com.au


Random controller does not seem to be very random on a per thread basis.  I have
been running a test script with 50 threads and a random controller that selects
between two possibilities.  Almost without fail all 50 threads follow the same
pattern for each loop in the thread group (all threads select the first option,
then all threads do the second option, etc.)  Very occasionally I may have
experienced a case where threads within a single loop process select different
options from the random controller - the overall behaviour is nothing like
random selection.
