Interesting....  The SunOS output exactly matches random(3)
behavior from 4.3BSD!  In fact random() remained the same for
4.3BSD-Reno, -Tahoe, 4.4BSD-Alpha and Net2.

4.2BSD random() behavior is different from all of the above.
There was real bug-fix between 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD.

I don't know when the FreeBSD/Redhat change was made or if it
broke any statistical properties.
