I did it to the maximum my version/ machine lets me using the method I 
understood best.
The two lists of digits are not the same( Pi digits seem to vary more
than the Random[Integer,{0.9}] do at this level).
I'm sure somebody with a later version 5.0 and a faster machine can do 
better,
but it still appears that Pi is a better pseudorandom
than the built in, I think ot at least "different" in kind.

Mathematica code I used:
Clear[rdpi,c1,c2,Digits,d1,d2,g]

Digits=50000;rdpi=RealDigits[Pi,10,Digits][[1]]

c1=Drop[FoldList[Plus,0,Sign[Drop[rdpi,1]-Drop[rdpi,-1]]],1];

ListPlot[c1,PlotJoined->True];

(* Rowe Count*)

d1=Flatten@{0,Length/@Split[Sort@c1], 0

ListPlot[d1,PlotJoined->True];

SeedRandom[123];

Clear[rdpi]

rdpi=Table[Random[Integer,  {0, 9}], {n, 50000}];

c2=Drop[FoldList[Plus,0,Sign[Drop[rdpi,1]-Drop[rdpi,-1]]],1];

ListPlot[c2,PlotJoined->True];

d2=Flatten@{0,Length/@Split[Sort@c2], 0}

ListPlot[d2,PlotJoined->True];

(Dimensions[d1][[1]]-Dimensions[d2][[1]])/2
