misunderstanding, the page random(3) says (in my version) "range from 0 to 2**31-1." it does not mention rand_max, INT32_MAX or some other constant only the numerical value. It happens to be INT32_MAX, but in this case i would simply drop it. ________________________________________ Von: Jakub Wilk <jwilk@xxxxxxxxx> Gesendet: Montag, 8.
