Michael Kerrisk b14d4aa5b8 Classical BSD versions are now always named x.yBSD (formerly 
there was a mix of x.yBSD and BSD x.y).

Because RAND_MAX is equal to INT_MAX, the following expression
contained in the manpage for rand(3) is slightly incorrect.
j=1+(int) (10.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));

The correct expression should use parentheses to group the division
before the multiplication, thus yielding:
j=1+(int) (10.0*(rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0)));

This is not an error where 10.0 is a floating point number, however
where 10.0 is replaced with an integer, this will cause the expression
to always evaluate to 1. (The addition of two parentheses would make
this bug a lot more difficult to make.)
