See for example [http://smolder.plusthree.com/app/public_projects/report_details/18487#first_failure this report] or the general amd64 smolder listing (sorry can't link). The attached patch makes the rand function behave the same on 32bit and 64bit platforms. Disclaimer: I'm not expert on those functions and it could be possible that the 32bit overflow is actually required for a nice distribution. As an alternative, FreeBSD is using [http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Other-random-number-generators.html#index-gsl_005frng_005fminstd-1550 this algorithm (gsl_rng_minstd)], which can be calculated without overflowing 31 bits. However, it also has a RAND_MAX of 2^31^ and I don't know if any parrot code relies on rand only having RAND_MAX of 2^15^. Still, if you don't like the patch, I'm offering to implement that algorithm. " bug closed normal library trunk medium fixed rand srand Math Rand.pir applied all head> <
