A second crack at a null hypothesis using an
independent pseudorandom generator.
Results from this generator are more variable than the Mathematica built in
 as you can change both the seed start number and the irrational it is 
based on.
It too gives a different result than the Pi digits.
 
Mathematica code:
Clear[r,s,a,c1,d1]
s=5
(*Pseudorandom number algorithm from Forcasting on Your 
Microcomuter,nickell, tab books, 1983*)
SeedRandom[123]
r[n_Integer]:=r[n]=Mod[(E+r[n-1])^s,1]
r[0]=Random[]
digits =50000
a=Table[Mod[Floor[10*r[n]],10],{n,1,digits}];
c1=Drop[FoldList[Plus,0,Sign[Drop[a,1]-Drop[a,-1]]],1];
ListPlot[c1,PlotJoined->True];
(* Rowe Count*)
d1=Flatten@{0,Length/@Split[Sort@c1], 0}
ListPlot[d1,PlotJoined->True];
