#2470: read for StdGen fails for arbitrary string

Type: bug | Status: closed

Severity: normal | Resolution: invalid

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Comment (by guest):
igloo: would it be appropriate to document the "read 6 characters"? Just
a final thought. At a minimum, my interpretation of the phrase "using
different strings is likely to result in different generators" is strongly
violated by a dependency on the first six characters, unless that's
documented.
No worries either way.
