[Random] Differing values from minstd_rand in v1.35.0

Dear all, Sorry if this is an inappropriate forum, but neither a question I posted about this to boost.users almost a month ago (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/34979) nor a bug report I submitted two weeks ago (http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1856) have evoked any response. The specific question/problem that I have is: After moving from boost 1.34.1 to 1.35.0 I have noticed that the sequence of values returned by the minstd_rand generator has changed. I'm curious to know if this was due to fixing a bug in the code, introducing a bug in the code, or me having incorrect expectations about boost::random (that results from the generators will remain constant across versions). Specific details, as well as code to reproduce what I've seen, are in the bug report. Please let me know if there is someone I should contact directly or a better forum for the question/problem. Thanks, -greg
