Perhaps more things are broken and are just lying in wait to byte us,
Oops, I mean bite us!   I found this bug while developing my Monte Carlo
simulator code under -current.  It showed up as incorrect calculations
streaming from my random number generator of all things!!!  What good are
Monte Carlo simulations with bad random numbers?!!

I would suggest rebuilding the world after this one gets fixed (of
course), but if anyone has built any ports outside of a world build in the
time since this bug crept in, those ports should be rebuilt as well.
