Now you assume that you need to pass arguments to these functions.
Which is not the case. Here's the proto:
/* {{{ proto int rand([int min, int max])
Returns a random number */
So revert that patch. mt_rand() / rand() accecpt either 2 parameters or
none at all. It was at least LESS wrong before. Now it's totally wrong.

p.s. Egon, you still haven't explained me why my patch was wrong?
