Actually, as I remember it's a 32V/SV incompatibility; another BSD/S5
difference that was originally an AT&T/AT&T difference....

Which wouldn't have been a good idea, for compatibility reasons.  The
real story is that the "rand" in the 4BSD environment and the "rand" in
the S5 environment differ; at least in 4.0, the former is described in
RAND(3C) and the latter is described in RAND(3V).  This may be the case
in 3.x as well; "man" has the annoying habit of choosing the 3V page
rather than the 3C page if you don't give a section, so "man rand" gives
the S5-environment version.
