I am trying to generate random numbers and am running into roundoff
problems:

RealDistribution('uniform', [1,1+1/10^16]).get_random_element()-1

This returns zero every time for me, something that is almost surely
wrong.  I would expect a number chosen from the interval (0,1e-16).

How do I make sage do what I want?

thanks
