## Generate a matrix of random bit errors. The size of the matrix is
## @var{n} rows by @var{m} columns. By default @var{m} is equal to @var{n}.
## Bit errors in the matrix are indicated by a 1.
##
## The variable @var{err} determines the number of errors per row. By
## default the return matrix @var{b} has exactly one bit error per row.
## If @var{err} is a scalar, there each row of @var{b} has exactly this
## number of errors per row. If @var{err} is a vector then each row has
## a number of errors that is in this vector. Each number of errors has    
## an equal probability. If @var{err} is a matrix with two rows, then 
## the first row determines the number of errors and the second their
## probabilities.
##
## The variable @var{seed} allows the random number generator to be seeded
## with a fixed value. The initial seed will be restored when returning.
