Hmm, i'm not sure. If it is possible that two consecutive occur in a
sequence of random numbers what is the probability of this event?
In fact i don't even know if mathematics deal with something like non
integer random numbers.
Of course this does not change anything about the POV-Ray random number
generator having it's limitations.
