Looking at the source of independent_bits, this jumps out at me:

    S = (S << w0) + (u & y0_mask);

and later

    S = (S << (w0 + 1)) + (u & y1_mask);

Shifts with a value more than the number of bits are undefined, and 
debugging confirms that w0 is 32 in the failing tests.

Re Trac, I just enabled Github Issues for Random. Perhaps we finally need to 
do that for all libraries.
