Strange, On my windowsXP system I get excatly the same numbers every time I start the code:
51 :(int)
585 :(int)
233 :(int)
819 :(int)
606 :(int)
506 :(int)
...and infinitely more numbers
 
This relationship between the numbers seems randomly enough, but 51 is always the first, 585 is always the second one, and so on. Therefor it does not seem to use the system time. (At least not with my version, but I am using the latest precompiled one for windows)
