So, my question is- which uniform random generation method is the
Matlab Ziggurat normal generator (Called via randn('state', seed) )
using?

http://www.mathworks.com/moler/random.pdf

There is a reference there to the textbook example functions
randtx and randntx, which "use the same algorithms and produce
the same results (to within roundoff error) as the two built-in
functions."
