The random test fails on the RPM nightlies on Fedora 20 and RHEL7. Unfortunately I don't know when the failure was introduced since the build was failing for unrelated reasons for a few days. At least it was passing on 2014-10-18. I can do some bisection if that's useful.

I think it was introduced in 89befaf. I'm up to fix this as part of #8380.

It turns out that the random tests pass again with #8832 (where a specialization for MersenneTwister of rand! was added).
