+Summary: Incorrect result of Runs-Test in MonoTests.System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGeneratorTest
+
+There are three "bugs" in the class 
+"MonoTests.System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGeneratorTest"
+in the method
+"protected void Runs (string rngName, byte[] sample)".
+
+1. The last "run" is just ignored. There is a simple test which 
+demonstrates this bug:
+Feed the method with the sample data eqal to 2500 times 0xFF.
+The result should be 1 run with length 6 or more but the result is 0 for 
+all run-lengthes.
+
+2. AFAIK the Runs-Test require to count all runs 0-runs and 1-runs, not 
+only the 1-runs as it is done at the moment.
+
+3. There is a change notice in the fips1402.pdf concerning the ranges of 
+the 6 run lengthes. For example the number of runs with the length 1 now 
+have to be in the range 2,315 – 2,685 not in the range 2,343 – 2,657 as it 
+is used in the source (see page 62 in the pdf).
