rand() function performs poorly

["William M. Grim" <wgrim@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

It came to my attention during a test of the rand() function on 
DragonFly that the rand() function performs poorly.

Take this code for example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>


int main(void)
{
        int cs, i,r; /*cs == case*/
        srand(time(0));
        while(1)
        {
                cs = rand() % 2;
                if(cs)
                        printf("O");
                else
                        printf("o");
        fflush(stdout);
        }
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


When you run that code, it will print "OoOoOoOo..." without any change; 
it's very predictable.

I'm certainly up for bringing the later 4.x rand() code down into 
DragonFly.  Where do you think they keep it?

And don't one of you other peeps go and do it for me. :-D  I want to try 
this one on my own!  >:-)

Thanks,
Mike
