>          Components: sampling
>    Affects Versions: 1.4

> The new ZigguratSampler.NormalizedGaussian does not produce suitable output from the examples sampling application:
> !pdf.gauss.modified.ziggurat.txt.png!
> Compare with the current ZigguratNormalizedGaussianSampler:
>  !pdf.gauss.ziggurat.txt.png! 
> This is is repeatable with several different RNG implementations.
> This issue was not detected with the current test suite in the sampling module which uses the deciles of the distribution. The deciles may be too coarse grained to detect a problem around the distribution mean.
