Some time ago, during a discussion of random number generators, at least one individual mentioned that the RNG in "Numerical Recipes," perhaps the fortran version, had a bug in it. Does anyone recall what that bug was and how to correct it? Does anyone recall which of the various RNGs in "Numerical Recipes" has the bug? Thanks!
