Log: random(6): Fix off-by-one After r355693, random(6) -f sometimes fail to output all the lines of the input file. This is because the range from which random indices are chosen is too big, so occasionally the random selection doesn't correspond to any line and nothing gets printed. (Ed. note: Mea culpa. Working on r355693, I was confused by the sometime use of 1-indexing, sometimes 0-indexing in randomize_fd().)
