I personally checked the presence of gaps once.

Recipe: do a simple program printing numbers between 0 and 1 and plot 
them, with the x-coordinate being the order in which they appears and y 
the number you got. You should see a solid (at least, uniform) rectangle 
with the color of the dots, but instead, you will find some "roads of 
vaccum": values that almost never will appear.
