possible test failure in upcoming Julia version 1.5

[rfourquet]

A PkgEval run for a Julia pull request which changes the generated numbers for rand(a:b) indicates that the tests of this package might fail in Julia 1.5 (and on Julia current master branch).

Also, you might be interested in using the new StableRNGs.jl registered package, which provides guaranteed stable streams of random numbers across Julia releases.

Apologies if this is a false positive. Cf. https://github.com/JuliaCI/NanosoldierReports/blob/ab6676206b210325500b4f4619fa711f2d7429d2/pkgeval/by_hash/52c2272_vs_47c55db/logs/DatagenCopulaBased/1.5.0-DEV-87d2a04de3.log

Corrected on Linux, StableRNGs.jl used in some tests

On osx on - nightly problem with:

I have seen a similar problem reported somewhere else, e.g. JuliaData/DataFrames.jl#2223 (comment), which seems to be a current problem with Julia nightly.

Ok thank you. I will wait for the problem to be fixed.
