  The Hofstadter $H$ sequence is defined by $H(1) = 1$ and $H(n) =
n-H(H(H(n-1)))$ for $n > 1$. If $\alpha$ is the real root of $x^3+x=1$ we show
that the numbers $\alpha H(n) \mod 1$ are not uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$,
but converge to a distribution we believe is continuous but not differentiable.
This is motivated by a discovery of Steinerberger, who found a real number with
similar behavior for the Ulam sequence. Our result is related with the fact
that a certain sequence defined from the linear recurrence
$h_n=h_{n-1}+h_{n-3}$ has the property $\|x h_n\| \rightarrow 0$ precisely for
$x \in \mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$, a phenomenon we inquire for general linear
recurrent sequences of integers.
