From http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Unbias_a_random_generator

biased=: 0 = ?
unbiased=: i.@# { ::$: 2 | 0 3 -.~ _2 #.\ 4&* biased@# ]

   unbias&.> 100#6
|length error

I see only one verb that can be generating a length error, but just to be sure:

unb1=: 4&* biased@# ]
unb2=: _2 #.\ unb1
unb3=: 0 3 -.~ unb2
unb4=: 2 | unb3
unb=: i.@# { ::$: unb4

   unb&.> 1000#6

The length error occurs in unb, which means that :: sometimes fails to
trap the error.

I get the same error in j7
