Actually, it looks like regression, since it was working fine prior
to this change:

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
revision 1.49
date: 2002/09/02 21:15:07;  author: karim;  state: Exp;  lines: +365 -450
major cleanup buchquad [preliminary]
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Or maybe, rather, this change exposed previously hidden bug.

The better way to see the problem, independent of a specific seed, is:

while(1,s=getrand;if(quadclassunit(82421)[1]!=1,print(s)))

*Bad* seeds start popping up right away when running post-Sep_2nd versions. 

Thanks
