RANDOMIZ WHAT(2) field and the effect on rfluka "chained" samples

Hi,

Is there a way to run a multiple sample calculation, driven for example by something like "rfluka -M5 <inputfile>", but with an externally given random seed (by RANDOMIZ WHAT(2) field)...?
I'm trying to schedule parallel runs on a computing cluster, dispatching each with a different RANDOMIZ card, but would like to have each job calculate 5-10 samples instead of only one. It appears that the presence of the RANDOMIZ card overrides the random seed with the same value, at the beginning of each cycle, nullifying the neat propagation of rand seed from a cycle to the next, done in rfluka...

Am I mistaken?
Is there a way to override the default random seed just at the beginning of cycle 1...?

Thanks,
Razvan
