Cool! Now I am really proud that my code mostly works on t2. > I can try the code if you want on my OpenSolaris system. That uses an Intel > Xeon > processor, so is little endian. Frank Lübeck suggested to use this little example in GAP: Reset(GlobalMersenneTwister);; List([1..10],i->Random(1,100000)); The resulting sequence seems to depend on endianness. > > But endianness strikes back in an unexpected way... > > I used to work on a 24-bit machine.
