Yes.. you are overlooking one important detail:  these are 'random numbers'
of course.  I use the generator from Knuth's book (also in Numerical Recipes)
to generate 32 bit random numbers and then piece two of them together to make
a 64 bit value.  It might be my RNG is not doing so well with respect to yours.

What RNG are you using?
