#9770: SphericalDistribution() is not random

   Priority:  major       |   Milestone:  sage-4.5.3
  Component:  statistics  |    Keywords:

 In the following list {{{l}}}, some elements repeat quite often:

 {{{
 sage: l = [ SphericalDistribution(dimension=2).get_random_element() for _
 in range(1000)]
 sage: uniq = []
 sage: for x in l:
     if x not in uniq:
         uniq.append(x)
 ....:
 sage: len(uniq)
 34
 }}}

 The output is not random. For example, the first line is repeated ~30
 times in the 1000 lines of output.        It works fine if
 !SphericalDistribution is only instantiated once!
