* random.c:
* An improved random number generation package. In addition to the standard
* rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
* interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
* bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is then
* initialized to contain information for random number generation with that
* much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state information are
* 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by calling the
* setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized with initstate().
* By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state information and
* generates far better random numbers than a linear congruential generator.
* If the amount of state information is less than 32 bytes, a simple linear
* congruential R.N.G. is used.
* Internally, the state information is treated as an array of longs; the
* zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small
* integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the
* R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 longs worth of
* state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: the
* zeroeth word of state information also has some other information stored
* in it -- see setstate() for details).
* The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register
* approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that
* way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in
* the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will have
* period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being used,
* assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive). The higher
* order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also influenced
* by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The total period of the
* generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling the amount of
* state information has a vast influence on the period of the generator.
* Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for large deg,
* when the period of the shift register is the dominant factor. With deg
* equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1)
* predicted by this formula.
*/
/*
* For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
* break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this
* many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree
* for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
* the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial.
