------------------------------------------------------------------

Attaching the code.

New BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) implementation, made as an overriden 
method of MersenneTwister. Copy this nextBytes(byte[]) implementation into the 
BitsStreamGenerator code.

The second file is a Unit test that demonstrates the wrong and the right 
nextBytes(byte[]) behaviors.

>          Issue Type: Bug

>
> Sequential calls to the BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) must generate 
> the same sequence of bytes, no matter by chunks of which size it was divided. 
> This is also how java.util.Random#nextBytes(byte[]) works.
> When nextBytes(byte[]) is called with a bytes array of length multiple of 4 
> it makes one unneeded call to next(int) method. This is wrong and produces an 
> inconsistent behavior of classes like MersenneTwister.
> I made a new implementation of the BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) see 
> attached code.
