[Discuss-gnuradio] RANDOM_MAX

[Greg Troxel]

In gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/random.h, RNADOM_MAX is defined 
unconditionally:

Recently NetBSD-current has added RANDOM_MAX, for essentially the same
reason, to parallel with RAND_MAX.  (random(3)'s definition is 0 to
2**31-1, so this shouldn't be different).


So, is it ok to commit this patch?

I would also update the comment (it's not a bug that Solaris RAND_MAX is
32767 if rand(3) on Solaris returns from 0 to 2**15-1 - standards don't
require 2**31-1 that I know of)?
