An update on this one : the problem appears to be in the
following loop :
do
{
#if (!defined __STRICT_ANSI__) && (defined HAVE_RANDOM)
i = (size_t) (random () % NPAT);
#else
i = (size_t) (rand () % NPAT);
#endif
}
while ( selected[i] == 1 );
Apparently i gets random valid values, but selected[i] is always 1.
Should not there be an emergency exit when a pathological condition
arise ?
Side note : there was no srandom().
Regards
Jean-Pierre
