Hi!

I have some problem with the use of Scheme function
"Random". It seems that for n=power of 2 the value returned is not
so random...

Ex:

STk> (random 4)
->2
STk> (random 4)
->3
STk> (random 4)
->0
STk> (random 4)
->1
STk> (random 4)
->2
STk> (random 4)
->3

...and so on!

I used also the initialization function (set-random-see! num) but it doesn't change...
Tahnks!
