note 21052 modified in function.srand by cece

[Editor's note: 1234567 is NOT a prime number] I created an application that requires millions of different random values replicating dice and have found over substantial time, the numbers even up towards the middle. May I suggest rather than this: (double)microtime()*1000000 Use this instead: (double)microtime()*1234567 1000000 is an even number, divisible by almost anything. 1234567 is a prime number and is hence uneven so it gives a little more flexibility with range. Don't know if this change was the main reason for affecting the application, but it seemed to help. --was-- I created an application that requires millions of different random values replicating dice and have found over substantial time, the numbers even up towards the middle.
