This seems to be an issue with boost's random number generators. While
what we use exists back to 1.35 (our minimum required version), it
seems like Boost has changed how to access it.

I'm buried for the next few days and won't be able to address this for
a bit. Can you open this as an issue to remind me (or someone else) to
tackle it?

Thanks,
Tom
