Works for me on Linux:
[derick@aarde seti]$ php -q
<?php
echo rand(1,50)-1;
echo "n";
?>
27
Did you use srand to seed the random number generator?
(www.php.net/srand)

Derick

calling: rand(1, 50)-1 will always get 1 !! try it for your self..this bug is only in 4.05 ..i
imediately rolled back to 4.04pl1 and it works perfect again.
I didn't compile my module..downloaded the win32 build.
