Subject: AMBER: Seed for random number generator

I wonder why the default seeds for the random number generator in
either REMD (71277) or RAMD (14253) are not primes. As far as I can
remember from high school, large primes should work best. At any
event, is it any scheme to change the seed from one run to another
one? Just chose different odd numbers (or odd primes)? Far apart from
one another?
Thanks
