> The table 'LXM Multipliers' at the end of the javadoc for the java.util.random package states that the mixing function is mixLea32 for all the 64/128-bit LCG based generators. This should be updated to mixLea64 for the 64/128-bit LCG generators. Only the L32X64MixRandom which uses a 32-bit LCG will use the mixLea32 mixing function.
