39 -- Eachus. It is based on the work of L. Blum, M. Blum, and M. Shub, SIAM
40 -- Journal of Computing, Vol 15. No 2, May 1986. The particular choices for P
41 -- and Q chosen here guarantee a period of 562,085,314,430,582 (about 2**49),
42 -- and the generated sequence has excellent randomness properties. For further

45 -- implementation approach used here.
