Abstract
Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional Ising model at critical ity performed using the cluster-flipping Wolff algorithm. Correlations found recently in a widely used ''good'' random number generator are observed to depend strongly and systematically on the size of the Mont e Carlo system. Rather long-range correlations seem to cause trouble, in growing clusters of specific size in a biased way.
