>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.5
>            Reporter: Rostislav Krasny
>             Fix For: 3.6

>         Attachments: MersenneTwister2.java, TestMersenneTwister.java

> Sequential calls to the BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) must generate the same sequence of bytes, no matter by chunks of which size it was divided. This is also how java.util.Random#nextBytes(byte[]) works.
> When nextBytes(byte[]) is called with a bytes array of length multiple of 4 it makes one unneeded call to next(int) method. This is wrong and produces an inconsistent behavior of classes like MersenneTwister.
> I made a new implementation of the BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) see attached code.
