Reference:
 (1) This is the long period ( > 2.3 * 10^18 ) random number generator of
     P. L'Ecuyer, Commun. ACM 31, 743 (1988), but with Bays-Durham shuffle
     and "added safeguards" as proposed by
 (2) William H. Press and Saul A. Teukolsky,
     "Portable Random Number Generators",
     Computers in Phyics, Vol. 6, No. 5, Sep/Oct 1992, Algorithm "ran2"
 (3) This generator has been validated also by
     G. Marsaglia and A. Zaman,
     "Some portable very-long-period random number generators",
     Computers in Physics, Vol. 8, No. 1, Jan/Feb 1994.

Notes:
  -  William Press and Saul Teukolsky think that this is a "perfect"
     random generator and will pay $1000 for the first one who convinces
     them otherwise.
