/* This is a reincarnation of the infamously bad RANDU generator.
Packit 67cb25
   The sequence is,
Packit 67cb25
Packit 67cb25
   x_{n+1} = (a x_n) mod m
Packit 67cb25
Packit 67cb25
   with a = 65539 and m = 2^31 = 2147483648. The seed specifies
Packit 67cb25
   the initial value, x_1.
Packit 67cb25
Packit 67cb25
   The theoretical value of x_{10001} is 1623524161.
Packit 67cb25
Packit 67cb25
   The period of this generator is 2^29.
Packit 67cb25
Packit 67cb25
   Note: Knuth describes this generator as "really horrible".
