The person in question is using 4.2BSD.  I suggest he try the new
4.2 random number generator, random().  It is a very good algorithm
and its standard 4.2BSD.  The quality of this algorithm has discussed
before on this list, so I won't reiterate it now.

Doug Gwyn, you don't need System V.  Don't force it on everyone.
