Well, two part. 1) You cannot link your code while it's running because windows won't allow you to overwrite the in-use binary. 2) You cannot exec() the same binary name either.
If you do this under windows, you need to create a new binary (rom.randomnumber)from withing the mud and exec() that file. But, it will still be more portable if you compile it in a cygwin environment.
