What values constitute failing for ENT tests? The dieharder tests give a clear PASSED, WEAK, etc and I'm wondering what those thresholds might be for the ent tests. While I'm sure a subjective and holistic reading of results is also helpful (especially for someone who knows a lot about RNGs and their tests), are there values that could be considered passing?

I know, for example, that the Monte Carlo Pi test should ideally be 3.143580574, but would a 4 be considered passing?

Edit: the question is better worded as failing the tests, rather than passing (see answer below).
Failing ENT output is a little like the length of string; elusive.  So I offer an anti-answer.  The following is the output from running the code below and shows a random sequence passing ENT.  You'll have to use some judement to weigh output diverging from this reference test.

The code executed for 1 MB, 10MB, 100MB, 1GB and 2GB random files using a decent cryptographic PRNG:-

public class SHA1 {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    try (DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(
            new BufferedOutputStream(
                    new FileOutputStream(
                            new File("c:\\scratch\\SHA1-1GB.bin"))))) {
        SecureRandom sr = new SecureRandom(new byte[]{42});
        byte[] data = new byte[1_000_000];


        for (long i = 0; i &lt; 1000; i++) {
            System.out.println(i);
            sr.nextBytes(data);
            dos.write(data);
        }
    }
}
}

You will see both the pi approximation and chi squared values converging.  For another truly random sample (pi out to 2.5 trillion places), chi is 12 as all digits become fairly equally distributed.
