  11. Some time ago, during a discussion of random number generators,
  12. at least one individual mentioned that the RNG in "Numerical Recipes,"
  13. perhaps the fortran version, had a bug in it.  Does anyone recall
  14. what that bug was and how to correct it?  Does anyone recall
  15. which of the various RNGs in "Numerical Recipes" has the bug?
  16. Thanks!
