Good point. It's a bit stupid that 'read' fails utterly on strings shorter
than 6.
I don't thin StdRandom has an "owner" at the moment. There's a process for
proposing library changes, described under "guidelines for developers" here
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_and_tools
That's the way to get your change adopted.
However, in this case the bug is in your code. The function 'read' (which you
use) fails unless it consumes its entire input. That is not what you want
here. The right thing to do is to use 'reads' instead. The wrong thing to do
is to make reading a StdGen read the entire input string!
