Re: wierd random number behavior

[Theodore C. Belding]

Hi Paul-
Two things you might try:

1) Make sure that you're including all of the necessary header files, so
that your program knows what the return type of the random number
generator is (sorry -- I don't have your original email anymore to check
this myself). 

2) Enable all warnings in gcc (again, you might already be doing this)
using -Wall -Wno-import.
 
3) Try compiling your program with egcs 1.x.x or with gcc 2.7.2.x.  It
might be a compiler bug in gcc 2.8.1. (The egcs team has taken over
maintenance of gcc, so hopefully gcc 2.8.x will soon be worth using again.
Currently, it's not.)

Hope that helps.
-Ted
