/*
 * The period of Blum generators with modulus 'n=p*q' (where p and
 * q are primes 3 mod 4) is:
 *
 *	lambda(n) = lcm(factors of p-1 & q-1)
 *
 * One can construct a generator with a maximal period when
 * 'p' and 'q' have the fewest possible factors in common.
 * The quickest way to select such primes is only use 'p'
 * and 'q' when '(p-1)/2' and '(q-1)/2' are both primes.
 * This function will seed the random() generator that uses
 * such primes.
 *
 * given:
 *	seed1 - a large random value (at least 10^20 and perhaps < 10^314)
 *	seed2 - a large random value (at least 10^20 and perhaps < 10^314)
 *	size - min Blum modulus as a power of 2 (at least 32, perhaps >= 512)
 *	trials - number of ptest() trials (default 25)
 *
 * returns:
 *	the previous random state
 *
 * NOTE: The [10^20, 10^314) range comes from the fact that the 13th internal
 *	 modulus is ~10^315.  We want the lower bound seed to be reasonably big.
