--  Robert Eachus. It is based on the work of L. Blum, M. Blum, and
--  M. Shub, SIAM Journal of Computing, Vol 15. No 2, May 1986. The
--  particular choices for P and Q chosen here guarantee a period of
--  562,085,314,430,582 (about 2**49), and the generated sequence has
--  excellent randomness properties. For further details, see the
--  paper "Fast Generation of Trustworthy Random Numbers", by Robert
--  Eachus, which describes both the algorithm and the efficient
--  implementation approach used here. This paper is available at
