<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Paragraph 6 says:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
... obtained by successive invocations of g, ... 
</p></blockquote>
<p>
We recommend instead:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
... obtained by taking successive invocations of g mod 2**32, ...
</p></blockquote>
<p>
as the context seems to require only 32-bit quantities be used here.
</p>


<p id="res-516"><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Berlin: N1932 adopts the proposed resultion: see 26.3.3.4/7.  Moved to Ready.
</p>

<p><i>[
Portland:  Subsumed by N2111.
