Description:
------------
in the sources of the PECL extension stats 1.0.2 we
need a 'static' storage class for the variable qinit:

File: stats-1.0.2/randlib.c
Function: void gsrgs(long getset,long *qvalue)

Original Code:
{
long qinit = 0;

Fixed Code:
{
/*MeJ: use static storage class ... otherwise 
       the value assigned to qinit gets lost upon
       return from function gsrgs()
*/
static long qinit = 0;



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
stats_rand_setall ( 4711, 88888);
$val = stats_rand_gen_gamma ( 0.6, 0.1 );
?>


Expected result:
----------------
$val should be assigned a random float value 

Actual result:
