     * random.c (random_r4): Burn a random number
       (random_r8): fix infinite loop.

I committed this under the obviously correct rule. Your burning of a random number also makes sense if one uses it to generate both REAL*4 and REAL*8 random numbers, as now in a sequence REAL*8, REAL*4, REAL*8 the third number will be the same as in a series of REAL*8 numbers.
