In the test program I also notice there are issues with the seed: this
is usually based on the time so running the program too fast will
generate repeated values. I would think that Calc doesn't have that
problem. as srand() is called elsewhere.

I made some mistakes at first and it was just for fun, but it seems
to give good results. One issue I see is that it is impossible to get
a value of 1.
