Could you please supply complete details, including an example to
reproduce the error message you get.

The "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" error message is produced when you try to
force the use of an old RNG that is known to have bugs. Usually it
should not appear, so I think you are doing something unusual.

And undocumented -- "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" is not a documented value for normal.kind, so what happens when you use it (or any other undocumented value) is undefined. (It is not a bug to fail to pick up every user error.)

match.arg is supposed to be called before "==" comparison.

Quote your authority for this, please!
