Not to knock on Don Knuth, but I wouldn't recommend using that code in
your app.  There's a perfectly good RNG facility in the system as Mr.
George Warner pointed out, and Knuth's code is designed for a 32-bit
system.  While it will work on OS X (because we use LP64), it will be
wrong on Win64 (which uses ILP64) and will cause problems if you
upcast to NSUInteger on OS X.
