  o Minor bugfixes:

    - When choosing which stream on a formerly stalled circuit to wake

      first, make better use of the platform's weak RNG.  Previously, we

      had been using the % ("modulo") operator to try to generate a 1/N

      chance of picking each stream, but this behaves badly with many

      platforms' choice of weak RNG. Fix for bug 7801; bugfix on

      0.2.2.20-alpha.

    - Use our own weak RNG when we need a weak RNG. Windows's rand()

      and Irix's random() only return 15 bits; Solaris's random()

      returns more bits but its RAND_MAX says it only returns 15, and

      so on.  Fixes another aspect of bug 7801; bugfix on

      0.2.2.20-alpha.
