 Code like this:

 {{{
 boost::lagged_fibonacci607 rng;
   ...
 boost::uniform_smallint<int> myrand(1,10);
 int a = myrand(rng);
 }}}

 yields errors like these:

 {{{
 /local/include/boost/random/uniform_smallint.hpp:195: error: invalid
 operands of types 'double' and 'double' to binary 'operator%'
 /local/include/boost/random/uniform_smallint.hpp:204: error: invalid
 operands of types 'double' and 'double' to binary 'operator%'
 }}}

 gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)
