I can reproduce this problem on Sparc/Solaris8 with
octave-2.1.64 / octave-forge-2004.11.16
gcc-v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 --with-gnu-ld
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3

The problem is with randn from octave-forge, it looks ok with
randn from octave.

"Little Endian" and "Big Endian" ?
