Knuth, in one* of his wonderful Four Volumes of Enlightenment and Wisdom,
gives an algorithm for random numbers. It's simple, but it works. I'm no
expert on the subject, and I don't know it's particular relative strengths
and weaknesses -- I suspect others will be quick to the fray on this -- but
maybe worth a try?
* The second one, on numerical methods, I think.
