Two vital information on .Net PRNG :

- It is not thread-safe (and might start outputting a serie of 0 when called in parallel)

- There is a bug (acknowledged by Microsoft but not fixed for backward compatibility reasons) in the implementation meaning that the generator has an abnormally short period and is, overall, less random looking.
