Description

This code should work (according to me, maybe your intention was different):
```js
import seed from 'random-bytes-seed'
import { deepStrictEqual } from 'assert'

const random0 = seed('seed')
const buffer0 = random0(10)

const random1 = seed('seed')
const buffer1 = Buffer.concat([random1(5), random1(5)])

deepStrictEqual(buffer1, buffer0)
```

Research direction
