[issue11848] Comment for random.betavariate is intriguing and incomplete

[Brandon W Maister]

New submission from Brandon W Maister <quodlibetor at gmail.com>:

The comment just before the random.betavariate method reads in part:

## See
## http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=130030&group_id=5470
## for Ivan Frohne's insightful analysis of why the original implementation:
## (snip original implementation) was dead wrong, and how it propbably got that way.

And I would like to read that comment, but the buglink is pretty deeply dead. I'm not sure what the correct thing to do here is, maybe stick the text of the bug into the comment, or just update the link.

But I'm definitely curious. Thanks.
