and for n # N, let 8(n) be the number of matrices C which are products of A's and B's where both A and B must occur, such that the trace tr(C)=n. It has been conjectured that

This conjecture is disproved by showing that

, has an absolutely continuous limit distribution with respect to the Lebesque measure.
