Thanks for the recommendation of Diceware.  It's a very neat system.  I'll
use it.
The website recommends using dice instead of a computer program unless you
know what you're doing.  I think I know what I'm doing (and I don't have
the patience for generating several passwords using dice).
On a Linux box, I am using /dev/random as a source of random bits, which I
turn into digits with Perl's unpack().  I chop off all digits outside the
range [1-6] and use those to get the words.
Can anyone detect any error here?
Daniel.
