-/* --- @rho@ --- *
- *
- * Arguments:	@rho_ctx *cc@ = pointer to the context structure
- *		@void *x, *y@ = two (equal) base values (try 1)
- *		@mp *a, *b@ = logs of %$x$% (see below)
- *
- * Returns:	The discrete logarithm %$\log_g a$%, or null if the algorithm
- *		failed.  (This is unlikely, though possible.)
- *
- * Use:		Uses Pollard's rho algorithm to compute discrete logs in the
- *		group %$G$% generated by %$g$%.
- *
- *		The algorithm works by finding a cycle in a pseudo-random
- *		walk.  The function @ops->split@ should return an element
- *		from %$\{\,0, 1, 2\,\}$% according to its argument, in order
- *		to determine the walk.  At each step in the walk, we know a
- *		group element %$x \in G$% together with its representation as
- *		a product of powers of %$g$% and $%a$% (i.e., we know that
- *		%$x = g^\alpha a^\beta$% for some %$\alpha$%, %$\beta$%).
- *
- *		Locating a cycle gives us a collision
- *
- *		  %$g^{\alpha} a^{\beta} = g^{\alpha'} a^{\beta'}$%
- *
- *		Taking logs of both sides (to base %$g$%) gives us that
- *
- *		  %$\log a\equiv\frac{\alpha-\alpha'}{\beta'-\beta}\bmod{n}$%
- *
- *		Good initial values are %$x = y = 1$% (the multiplicative
- *		identity of %$G$%) and %$\alpha\equiv\beta\equiv0\bmod{n}$%.
- *		If that doesn't work then start choosing more `interesting'
- *		values.
- *
- *		Note that the algorithm requires minimal space but
- *		%$O(\sqrt{n})$% time.  Don't do this on large groups,
- *		particularly if you can find a decent factor base.
- *
- *		Finally, note that this function will free the input values
- *		when it's finished with them.  This probably isn't a great
- *		problem.
