Dear all,

When I run the following simple code, the output is "-1.#IND" in MSVC 2008 and "nan" in GCC 4.4.0. I guess that means something is not initialised yet... So, what's missing here?

boost::normal_distribution<double> gen;
boost::mt19937 engine;
double r = gen(engine);
cout << r;

TIA,
--Hossein
