[boost] Problem in random/uniform_smallint.hpp

Hi

I think there is a problem in the uniform_int method which
generates integer random numbers in a specific range.
My generator returns big numbers in order of 2^52 to
the uniform_int method.  uniform_int calculates a factor
(_factor) to rescale the generator numbers to the 
specified range. Now I get an floatingpoint exception, while
dividing by zero. _factor gets 0. The problem is the type 
of _factor, its an integer. I think it should be of type 
base_result, which is defined there.

I hope this helps 

         Mario
