The initial bond distribution indeed improved significantly with e58f91a1. Thanks for solving one of the mysteries.
I have already pushed Simon's patch assuming test failure was still observed with this patch. Using 256 is not a bad idea at any rate -- there is no particular good reason to pick 91 to begin with. We should however raise the minimally expected distribution to catch a bad random selection, such as the one that got fix. I will send out a patch soon once I figure out what will be a good value.
