      Use random() instead of rand() to increase portability · 9803fc41

      Quoting glibc rand(3):
      
      The  versions  of rand() and srand() in the Linux C Library use the same random
      number generator as random(3) and srandom(3), so the lower-order bits should be
      as  random  as  the  higher-order bits.   However,  on  older  rand()
      implementations, and on current implementations on different systems, the
      lower-order bits are much less random than the higher-order bits.  Do not use
      this function in applications intended to be portable when good randomness is
      needed.  (Use random(3) instead.)
