Version 2.1 of the Ada Compiler Evaluation System has tests for checking the
performance of Ada 95 random value (not just number) generators.  As a side
effect, these tests output some (minimal) statistics relevant to the actual
distribution of the generated values.

The ACES is available at sw-eng.falls-church.va.us, anonymous ftp, directory
public/AdaIC/testing/aces
