Re: Am I misunderstanding random numbers?

I actually had trouble on a Broadcomm powered wireless router with
OpenWRT 2.4 linux kernel, when calling randomize. When the seed got over
2^31 i got an error message (didn't take note, something to the tune of
"Integer expected, got Number). It was the prepackaged Lua don't know
how it was compilled. Thesame code never ever triggered that on Linux 32
bits on x86.
