[Help-smalltalk] Limits of Random changed due the mersenne twister

[Holger Hans Peter Freyther]

Hi all,

I have noticed a regression with master in one of my codes, I try to generate
a random number like:

        (Random between: 100000000000 and: 999999999999) asString


It is working with 3.2, it fails with a primitiveError in master. Is this
something easy to fix?
