Seems to say it isn't used. I also contest that it _is_ broken. I cannot find a man page that promises that it uses a uniform distribution; one could even argue that such a function should not use an uniform distribution. For example, randomizing the non-uniformity of the distribution depending on the phase of the moon would, IMO, be a good idea for this function.
