getRandom always returns same values on ipad hardware?

Has anyone had this problem?
I have a group of objects that call getRandom within their onLevelLoaded function.
When I run on the simulator, everything is as expected.
When I deploy and run on the iPad2 hardware, iOS 5, iTorque 1.5, xCode 4.2, I get the same values for all the objects.
System.cs calls setRandomSeed();
So to summarize, everytime getRandom(0,3) is called, it returns 3. But only on iPad 2 hardware, not the sim.
Thanks

I use getrandom all the time on iPad 1 and it doesn't appear to have this problem.

is working like a champ for each of my 5 reels in my slot machine project on an iPad 1.

Same here, I haven't had to use it a lot yet, but:$totalSpinsReel1 = getRandom(4,$totalTilesPerReel /4);

I'm using getRandom() a lot and never had any issues, both on the device(ipad 1 iOS 4.3, ipad 2 iOS 4.3 and 5) and on the simulator.I'm using iTorque 1.5

Does the problem also occur when you remove the setRandomSeed() call?

That worked for me.
