When a monte-carlo simulation has problems, it is usually because of
correlations between the generated values in some high-order dimension
(like all points falling on a particular k-1 dimensional hyperplane in
k-dimensional space). Such a problem is closely related to
lattice-reduction methods, so I think it would lead more-or-less directly
to an attack on the cryptosystem.
