>Description:
	

Running /usr/games/random to select lines from a file fails to eliminate any
lines -- ie, it functions just like "cat".

>How-To-Repeat:
	

make a file with 10000 lines for easy viewing:

perl -e 'print "$_\n" for (1..10000)' > list

now run

/usr/games/random 6 < list > out

On an amd64 system, list == out.  On an i386 system the file out has
approximately 1600 lines.

>Fix:

	

no idea.  must be some 64-bit over/under flow issue...
