rand($a,$b) doesn't return values between $a and $b, it returns values between $a and ($a+$b).

Further, if $b<$a, it generates an error.

I think the error checking is correct, but the function should return values between $a and $b.  This worked fine in versions prior to 3.0.6 I think.

Rasmus fixed this in the latest CVS (and introduced
another bug, but that is reported seperately).
