The slight annoyance with rand48/erand48 is that those functions are not 
thread safe, and as it is recursive noise generator, it doesn't work well if 
we ask for an update of a rectangle of the generated images which is 
different from the original rect. For this we have a random number generator 
in Krita, that takes as argument the current coordinate of the pixel. (The 
formula is probably not very *good*, but I don't know any random number 
generator formula that is very *good*).
