Dang!!! Forget it. My random restricted permutation generator
doesn't ``quite'' work. Further testing --- which I should've done
before posting (sigh) --- reveals that it can get into a situation in
which there's nothing left to sample from, and it still needs to fill
out the permutation. I.e. it has painted itself into a corner.
Perhaps one could put in a test for this situation and just start
again if it happens, but this makes me uneasy. What happens to the
``equal probability'' of all the generated permutations?
Mebbe somebody else can come up with something cleverer. Sorry if I
got your hopes up.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
