First of all, if len>8000 at all frequently, the "ret=ret+chr()" call is
going to get somewhat costly, because you copy/create a new string each
time.

Secondly, I still can't figure out what the problem is, partly because I
don't know whether it's dying on the call to whrandom.whrandom() or the
call to gen.randint().

Side note: you should not use whrandom, you should use random.
