On my self-compiled Linux build of Rakudo Star 2017.01: % perl6 -e 'say (-524288..^524288).pick(50)' (445052 -427 442649 66610 133030 238409 -250288 438259 508787 423778 90030 28568 -372417 143522 -335109 -156474 -395940 -124515 517779 398864 -494020 -303173 -4646 253705 -263919 204704 328943 -230539 276553 -142475 -311381 -224414 410534 -58726 -27584 -135264 -222462 79964 -177401 -413056 -279021 -445158 -161601 61337 -101262 -66850 -285553 -506522 366891 289163) This looks pretty normal. But on my Windows machine, using the 64-bit version of Rakudo Star 2017.01, downloaded from http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/ , I get: % perl6 -e 'say (-524288..^524288).pick(50)' (-504365 -504962 -520900 -503012 -504515 -514927 -524063 -511982 -503130 -511610 -515842 -518903 -505137 -513172 -504845 -512334 -513608 -518507 -512159 -508672 -492893 -503150 -501718 -515295 -495598 -513483 -507283 -493687 -494653 -498803 -497266 -519193 -510278 -503827 -501717 -514772 -507593 -500763 -509913 -509046 -523590 -516283 -499038 -501134 -499195 -496352 -495618 -522092 -504550 -498746) I.e., I consistently get numbers close to the bottom end of the range.
