+ * From: Bob Jewett <jewett@bill.scs.agilent.com>
+ *
+ * Call random() twice to fill in more bits in the value
+ * of the double. Also, there is a bug in random() such
+ * that when the values of successive values are combined
+ * like (rand1*rand2)^2, (rand3*rand4)^2, ... the
+ * resulting time series is not white noise. The
+ * following also seems to fix that bug.
+ *
+ * The add/subtract 0.5 keeps small bits from filling
+ * below 2^-53 in the double, not that anyone should be
+ * looking down there.
+ *

+ * From: "Nelson H. F. Beebe" <beebe@math.utah.edu>
+ * (4) The code is typical of many published fragments for converting
+ * from integer to floating-point, and I discuss the serious pitfalls
+ * in my book, because it leads to platform-dependent behavior at the
+ * end points of the interval [0,1]
+ *
+ * (5) the documentation in the gawk info node says
+ *
+ * `rand()'
+ * Return a random number. The values of `rand()' are uniformly
+ * distributed between zero and one. The value could be zero but is
+ * never one.(1)
+ *
+ * The division by RAND_DIVISOR may not guarantee that 1.0 is never
+ * returned: the programmer forgot the platform-dependent issue of
+ * rounding.
+ *
+ * For points 4 and 5, the safe way is a loop:
+ *
+ * double
+ * rand(void) // return value in [0.0, 1.0)
+ * {
+ * value = internal_rand();
+ *
+ * while (value == 1.0)
+ * value = internal_rand();
+ *
+ * return (value);
