make_random_state broken for Maxima installed with Ecl

I have now the problem that I use make_random_state(0)
at quite a few places.

So it seems I need to assemble my own Maxima package:
 - the module "maxima" of the cvs repository is to be used?
 - once I see on "Index of /maxima/src" 
http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/maxima/maxima/src/?sortby=date#dirlist
   that the changes I'm looking for appeared, I have to
   download the module "maxima", go into the 5.16.3 package
   and replace all related entries there with the downloaded
   ones?
