What...the...hell...?

I just had a closer look at my test data. For reasons *beyond* my powers 
of comprehension, I used a hand-written LCG psuedorandom number 
generator to generate the file contents. Trouble is, the particular 
coefficients I picked have a period of... four.

*WHY* would I do such a thing?! >_<

Of course, The *Real* WTF is that I seeded my broken PRNG using... the 
system PRNG. Which actually works correctly.

Dude. Seriously. What the HELL was I smoking that day?? [shakes head in 
disbelief] I literally cannot *believe* I managed to do something this 
retarded...
