Why does:

The reason is that I messed up the test for X86 architecture
in randmtzig.c, and you are compiling little endian rather than
big endian architecture.
I've fixed this in CVS. Before making a new release, I want
to put some distributional tests around the random number
generator code so nothing so egregious happens again.
Please try the attached patch.
