Good stuff.

dieharder is a little 'dormant' upstream and via my maintenance of the Debian
package I have somewhat inherited upstream.  Can you take a look please if
this was take care of already at the (somewhat active) shadow repo of mine at

   https://github.com/eddelbuettel/dieharder

I will also CC Milan who has been very attentive with a few other fixes, and
may have seen this one too.  We are trying to get hold of Robert but no luck
yet.

Cheers, Dirk

PS Apologies also for replying late. I usually get to bug reports within a
day but it's a teaching term plus being busy at my 'real job' puts some
stress on my response times.  :-/   I think I reply quicker to GH issues as I
am on GH all day anyway...
