Fixes stochastic utest failure in esl_minimizer.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
esl_minimizer_utest can fail stochastically (normally) at about a 0.5%
rate.  Conforming to easel code style, converted it to a fixed RNG
seed so it doesn't fail in production code tests in the field.
