Inconsistent results with many instances about faker HOT 3 CLOSED

Running this on different versions indeed gives different result. However i see PHP 7.3/7.4/8.0/latest all behave the same way. The way the example is executed though is not really a best practice where we create thousands of Faker instances.

php8.0       | FAIL: 398
phplatest    | FAIL: 398
php8.0 exited with code 0
php7.4       | FAIL: 398
php7.3       | FAIL: 398
phplatest exited with code 0
php7.4 exited with code 0
php7.3 exited with code 0
php7.2       | FAIL: 3597
php7.2 exited with code 0
php7.1       | FAIL: 3197
php7.1 exited with code 0

@ROTGP what i can suggest is to create a single Faker instance in these ways and reseed the instance itself.

@pimjansen yup, using a static instance and reseeding it is what I ended up doing. I understand that it's somewhat of an extreme edge-case. Feel free to close the issue.
