Thank you, Bernard. I was doing a histogram with random data just a few weeks ago myself and didn't think to do a test at the time -- it seems very similar to what Michael found in your Nabble link. And now this problem -- whatever the underlying problems, I'll bet they are the same. I hope this will be investigated, but at least we have the verbose workaround. Thanks, again,

I believe the same issue might well have come up just a few days ago
in a slightly different context:

http://www.nabble.com/Array-issue-td22859541.html

It does seem that in not putting the result of random() into a
variable before using it, people are seeing strange results.
Personally, I would adopt the more verbose approach, as it would aid
debugging.
