//
// The starting point for the Hurd Random algorithm is the paper in 
// IEEE Transactions on Computers c23, 2 Feb 1974. The algorithm is
// essentially a series of 32 interconnected b-bit registers. The basic
// property is that at each step, bit 1 becomes bit 0, bit 2 the new bit 1,
// bit b the new bit b-1. This is modified so that the new bit b0 is the old
// bit b1 XOR'd with some bit b-d from the previous bit register. The values
// of d can be chosen so as to generate a primitive polynomial, a maximal
// length sequence through all bit patterns except the zero pattern.
//
// This generator, Hurd160 use values based upon Table I of the afore 
// mentioned paper, such that we have 160 total bits, representing 32
// 5-bit registers (actually implemented as an array of 5 32-bit words)
