Florian, can you comment and maybe fix it?
Can't comment, do not remember -- this was 5 years ago.
Or you wanted to move the variable before the loop and keep the random state between the loops and only reseed when all '1' bits have been consumed.
Probably. No clue, best to NOT change it to not block Jasons series and then just simplify this and remove all the useless shifts.
