I had a lot of trouble running the NIST tests on
L15, as NIST no longer supports it for Linux (only
Windows, and with a clunky user interface). But
anyway.
NIST normally recommends running the test on 125MB
of data, treated as 1000 samples of 1000000 bits
each. When run in that mode against a single
125mB stream from L15, it reported a failure of
the overlapping-templates test. Unfortunately I
clobbered this data set output and it takes so
long to re-run the test that I won't bother.
