[reSIProcate] Exception encountered when using reSIProcate in a multi-threaded program

[Fischl jason]

I think I got it. In win32, each thread needs to seed the rng. We are
using the time in ms xor thread id as the seed value. This just isn't
going to cut it. I'm going to try changing it to use GetTickCount
instead of Timer::getTimeMs. Also, going to change some other things
in the seed value.

More specifically:

Data buffer;
DataStream strm(buffer);
strm << GetTickCount() << ":" 
strm << GetCurrentProcessId() << ":";
strm << GetCurrentThreadId();
strm.flush();
unsigned int seed = buffer.hash();
