I was using the 24 bits random generator, suggested by Mark Jeronimus, at

 http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/rand8bit.htm
I'm very satisfied about it.

But now I want to use a 32 bit random generator, and I read this
   "The prime polynom is 0xA6A6A6A6 (Yes this is a prime polynom! It 
went through a hell to find it)"

Is this correct ?
At least I can divide it by 2,
so what I remember from prime numbers,
this is NOT a prime number.

thanks,
Stef Mientki
