Bug Description
RANDOM-
RNG to be high quality near RANDOM-FIXNUM-MAX; it looks as though
the mean of the distribution can be systematically O(0.1%) wrong.
Just increasing R-I-E-B is probably not a good solution, since
it would decrease efficiency more than is probably necessary. Perhaps
using some sort of accept/reject method would be better.
