Is that one of the PCGs? Or Arc4Random, ChaCha20 or XorShift64/32?

The three latter fails on k-dimensional equi-distribution, MT does not. 
Some of the PCGs do too, but some should be as good as MT. Not sure if 
that is worse or better than failing some parts of BigCrush.

Which PCG would you recommend, by the way?
