Also, this breaks all code currently using rand() and srand(), as the LCG and MT produce a different sequence of numbers for the same seed. I can't judge how widely this is used, I don't expect it to be a lot, but it's still something that has to be considered. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
