Arithmetic support is actually not the issue, rather its that dash/sh
doesn't support $RANDOM. The solution to this is to replace $RANDOM
with $(date +%N) which is obviouslsy not all that random, but which
is close enough to random for this usage.

Since Jaren is in the process of making the scripts POSIX shell 
compliant, I think swicthing to bash is a bad idea :-).

I was going to do the $RANDOM to $(date +%N) conversion after Jaren's
POSIX patches were all applied.

Cheers,
Erik
