BugNumber:  002				

Initial Bug Report				5/10/04
------------------
	Version 19.1

Aaron Chou reports serious problems with RandPoissonT and Q when mean
is exactly 100.  He speculates (correctly) that this has to do with the 
break point between the table-driven method and the more time consuming
(for T) or less accurate in principle (for Q) method used above 100.

Bug Reproduced					1/26/04
--------------
Bug is clear, and as Joel says is a result of rand() on Linux giving
more than the expected 15 bits.  The code in RandEngine was very 
flimsy, using an | of two shifted (expected 15 bit) numbers to form
an answer.
