Description Paul Herman 2001-11-08 20:20:03 UTC 
jot -r is broken on alpha, and most likely other 64-bit
platforms.  This is becuase jot assumes that arc4random()
outputs a long rather than int.

Fix: Manpage for arc4random() specifies a u_int32 as output, and NOT
a u_long.  Patch against 4.4-RELEASE:
