#218: random not random

Reporter: zbigniew | Type: defect

Milestone: 4.6.0 | Component: core libraries

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Comment(by zbigniew):
The behavior of rand(3) is so poor and inconsistent across systems that it
may be better then to simply remove (random) from the core than to pretend
it actually works.
In the meantime, I updated man/4/Unit extras with warnings about the
quality of random's randomness.
