I think all versions of f_ridged_mf are somewhat wrong, see the following
pictures and histograms:

RMF parameters are: 0.6, 2.2, 7, 0.7, 0.8

What you can see is that apart from a range problem with all noise
generators, there are small 'hills' in the lowest parts, with ng 1 they
are extremely exaggerated.  Such hills can occur with certain parameters,
but they should not with these.  See the results from other programs for
comparison.
