Research direction
Start by comparing the latest release with the fix described in issue #185 and reproduce the town-name generation error shown in the report. Trace the random-bit calculation for MinchinWeb's Random Town Name Generator and identify the relevant source or tests; done means the generator no longer reports that 34 bits are needed when only 32 are available.

Description
Hi,
I've tried compiling MinchinWeb's Random Town Name Generator from source and while it seemed like the "not enough random bits for town name generation" issue had been fixed in #185, I get this error using the latest release.
