:Chris or anyone:
:
:Does multi-threading have any affects on seeds used in the random
:generator.  Does anyone know if this is truly thread safe?

The key is to save the seed[s] you use as the base for your region[s].
What was also discussed was using the co-ordinates within the region for
the local seed. Thus, nothing is really random, and can be repeatedly
generated, whether multi-threaded or not.
