Comment 4 for bug 1154502

indeed.
I have added updated patches to the upstream bug report:
https://banu.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110
Those adhere to coding guidelines and also add configure check for
the newly used functions (time, rand, srand).

These could go upstream.
I need to really understand the problem though
(i.e I am not certain that I understand the phenomenon.
the bug report does not contain a precise desciption.
or I am not able to reproduce.)

Thanks for any details!
