/* This is the old BSD rand() generator. The sequence is

   x_{n+1} = (a x_n + c) mod m 

   with a = 1103515245, c = 12345 and m = 2^31 = 2147483648. The seed
   specifies the initial value, x_1.

   The theoretical value of x_{10001} is 1910041713.

   The period of this generator is 2^31.

   The rand() generator is not very good -- the low bits of successive
   numbers are correlated. */
