Modified files:
lib/libc/stdlib rand.c random.c
Log:
For rand(3) and random(3) TYPE_0 drop NSHUFF values right after srand{om}()
to remove part of seed -> 1st value correlation. Correlation still remains
because of algorithm limits. Note that old algorithm have even stronger
correlation, especially in the lower bits area, but not eye-visible, as
current one.
