Hi Matt, I ran the test I was planning to make on IBAA and it shows that there is a problem; the first round of output from the generator leaks the internal state (perhaps even in subsequent rounds).
You can run the test yourself from my home directory on LEAF: /home/rcarey/ibaa.c What I would recommend is that after initialisation (after the generator has been seeded from the "entropy" file - the seeding method that you added), the generator is warmed up as described in: http://www.burtleburtle.net/bob/rand/isaac.html I would recommend that the generator is warmed up by making 10 (ten) calls to IBAA_Call () (as described in the above URL). This has the effect of discarding the output of the generator for the first ten rounds/calls, and thereby eliminating the internal-state leakage produced by the first round/rounds. Sincerely, R Carey. ___________________________________________________________ Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with Yahoo! For Good http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/forgood/
