[lang] patch and test case fixing problem with RandomStringUtils.random()

           Summary: [lang] patch and test case fixing problem with
                    RandomStringUtils.random()
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Lang
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: phil@steitz.com


When a set of characters is supplied to RandomStringUtils.random(), the last
character in the set never appears in generated strings.  

Attaching patch and test case showing failure.

The test case generates 100 6-character strings from a 3-character set and
compares the observed frequency of occurrence of each of the characters in the
set with expectation assuming purely random selection.  Uses a chi-square test.
