Thanks very much for the patch. I have committed it to the gnubg CVS
repository now, and it should show up in snapshots dated 020802 and later.
(I modified the patch in several small ways -- I adjusted the seed value
so that the example in the manual agrees as closely as possible, and I
omitted the Brent/Gimeno/Knuth procedure, since it is intended to fix a
problem with Knuth's lagged Fibonacci generator and I am not convinced
it makes any improvement to MT.)
Cheers,
Gary.
