Guido van Rossum 72c2e1b56e Fixed a bug in the gauss() function. The bug was reported by Mike
Miller, who complained that its kurtosis was bad, and then fixed by
Lambert Meertens (author of the original algorithm) who discovered
that the mathematical analysis leading to his solution was wrong, and
provided a corrected version.  Mike then tested the fix and reported
that the kurtosis was now good.

Guido van Rossum cc32ac9704 Use float constants directly; cosmetic changes; initialize largest
correctly; allow test(N) to set number of calls in the tests.
