I took a quick look. It seems like gcc-2.95 has namespace problems when 
BOOST_USING_STD_MIN/MAX
Since Random never worked on systems without min/max in std I have simplified 
and use std::min/max instead. This fixes gcc-2.95 and should not regress on 
any of the good compilers.

If this looks good in the tests tomorrow I will remove the failure markup.
