This patch fixes two problems in nandtest: (1) if a seed is provided it is actually not used. First call is "seed = rand()" killing the given seed. Credit: Jan Weitzel <j.weitzel@phytec.de> (2) if a seed is not provided, we use the default rand() values, which produces the same sequence of values every run. It makes more sense to seed with the time to produce more random sequences.
