There was a lot of log records like epmd: node name already occupied epmd-starter-443584618, and the number was always the 443584618. Like in https://xkcd.com/221/ )

random:uniform/1 stores PRNG state in process dictionary, and if random:seed/3 wasn't called, it initializes from the same constant seed.
