Ok. Let me just note that rand()%max is a lousy method of generating random numbers between 0 and max-1 and everybody should put that in the bin with Popular Examples That Should Never Be Used, together with exponential Fibonacci, linear-space factorial, and bubblesort.
Yes yes, I know I know, but, honestly, when I'm generating noise for some terrain generation or a random color, or some fuzzy AI behaviour, I don't care about random periods that much and %max does the job. Nobody is using %max for private key generation, AFAIK :)
