In fact it was a change in random generator in ocaml 3.12

------------------------------------
        Objective Caml version 3.12.0+beta1

# Random.init 0;;
- : unit = ()
# Random.float 1.0;;
- : float = 0.849294619789682792
------------------------------------
        Objective Caml version 3.11.2

# Random.init 0;;
- : unit = ()
# Random.float 1.0;;
- : float = 0.454763353840783646


This means that any long living program should use its own random
generator ?
