23 * Here is a very good random number generator.  This implementation is
24 * based on ``Two Fast Implementations of the "Minimal Standard" Random
25 * Number Generator'', David G. Carta, Communications of the ACM, Jan 1990,
26 * Vol 33 No 1.  Do NOT modify this code unless you have a very thorough
27 * understanding of the algorithm.  It's trickier than you think.  If
28 * you do change it, make sure that its 10,000'th invocation returns
29 * 1043618065.
30 *
31 * Here is easier-to-decipher pseudocode:
32 *
33 * p = (16807*seed)<30:0>	# e.g., the low 31 bits of the product
34 * q = (16807*seed)<62:31>	# e.g., the high 31 bits starting at bit 32
35 * if (p + q < 2^31)
36 * 	seed = p + q
37 * else
38 *	seed = ((p + q) & (2^31 - 1)) + 1
39 * return (seed);
40 *
41 * The result is in (0,2^31), e.g., it's always positive.
