Comment(by hamish):

 what is your ew, ns region resolution? (the module uses that)

 r.random.cells does not know that 1deg lat is not the same distance as
 1deg lon. Considering the nature of what it is doing (feeding into future
 stats) I wouldn't risk the wrong answers, I'd run it from a projected
 location instead of a lat/lon one.

 the module is smart enough to deal with ew,ns resolution (of the same
 units) being different though.
