There is still a problem here - my code (and also all of the previous posters, I think) clobbers the random generator, rendering it unusable for future calculations. In this case that is probably not a problem, but it is a bad habit to get into, and not very polite.
Nope. newStdGen is specified in terms of split, which means it leaves the random generator in a state independent of the generator it returns. Perfectly safe. (I think you think you used getStdGen).
