- /* This is a reincarnation of the infamously bad RANDU generator.
- The sequence is,
-
- x_{n+1} = (a x_n) mod m
-
- with a = 65539 and m = 2^31 = 2147483648. The seed specifies
- the initial value, x_1.
-
- The theoretical value of x_{10001} is 1623524161.
-
- The period of this generator is 2^29.
-
- Note: Knuth describes this generator as "really horrible".
-
- From: Park and Miller, "Random Number Generators: Good ones are
- hard to find" Communications of the ACM, October 1988, Volume 31,
