Yet another pseudo-random number generator

[R.]

In article <9653 at smoke.BRL.MIL> gwyn at brl.arpa (Doug Gwyn) writes
in response to my mention of the recent CACM article on random
generators, that:

"Virtually all PRNG schemes in common use have provable
 statistical behavior.  That doesn't mean they're always
 suitable.  In fact I'm not enthised about that CACM article."

Are you refering to the need to have skewed or otherwise non-normal
distributions? Also I'm interested in knowing what you found
wanting in the CACM article.
