Fix typo in pg_srand48 (srand48 in older branches). ">" should be ">>". This typo results in failure to use all of the bits of the provided seed.
This might rise to the level of a security bug if we were relying on srand48 for any security-critical purposes, but we are not --- in fact, it's not used at all unless the platform lacks srandom(), which is improbable. Even on such a platform the exposure seems minimal. Reported privately by Andres Freund.
