Potential changes to the random stream in old random module
-----------------------------------------------------------
Due to bugs in the application of ``log`` to random floating point numbers,
the stream may change when sampling from `~RandomState.beta`, `~RandomState.binomial`,
`~RandomState.laplace`, `~RandomState.logistic`, `~RandomState.logseries` or
