Phil Steitz commented on MATH-899:
----------------------------------
I am -1 on attempting to make this class threadsafe. Each generating thread
should have its own generator. If users really need a shared singleton
generator, they should do as Gilles suggests, which is to wrap and then only
they will pay the sync overhead cost.
> A random crash of MersenneTwister random generator
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-899
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-899
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: Windows 7, JDK 1.7.05
> Reporter: Alexander Nozik
> Priority: Minor
>
> There is a very small probability that MersenneTwister generator gives a
> following error:
> java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 624
> in MersenneTwister.java line 253
> The error is completely random and its probability is about 1e-8.
> UPD: The problem most probably arises only in multy-thread mode.
