      Working hypothesis for BF-13608 is that it may have been caused by a badly calculated PseudoRandom sampling operation.

      Without changing the underlying fundamentals or the API, we can make all these PseudoRandom and SecureRandom operations do what they claim to do, relying on vetted stdlib <random> facilities.
