    to ask Phil Karlton <karlton@netscape.com> what the Right Thing to Do was.
    He responded with this.  It is non-cryptographically secure, reasonably
    random (more so than anything that is in any C library), and very fast.
 
    I don't understand how it works at all, but he says "look at Knuth,
    Vol. 2 (original edition), page 26, Algorithm A.  In this case n=55,
-   k=20 and m=2^32."

    So there you have it.
