/* This a helper function that generates a random password with a
   number of characters from a set of character classes.

   If there are n classes, and the size of each class is Pi, and the
   number of characters from each class is Ni, the number of possible
   passwords are (given that the character classes are disjoint):

     n             n
   -----        /  ----  \
   |   |  Ni    |  \     |

   |   | Ni!    |  /___  |
    i=1          \  i=1  /

    Since it uses the RND function above, neither the size of each
    class, nor the total length of the generated password should be
    larger than 127 (without fixing RND).
