Re: poisson_rnd is broken in 2.1.58

[David Bateman]

I converted all of the statistical toolbox to work with ND arrays, so if
you are using the statisical toolbox it would be good if you give it a
torture test.

In any case here is a fix for the problem you found and the binomial_rnd
function as well.
