Sorry for this unforseen issue... portability is a pain:-(

Yep, but ISTM that it is down to 32 bits, whereas the PRNG seed expects 48
bits a few lines below:
base_random_sequence.xseed[0] = iseed & 0xFFFF;
base_random_sequence.xseed[1] = (iseed >> 16) & 0xFFFF;
base_random_sequence.xseed[2] = (iseed >> 32) & 0xFFFF;
So the third short is now always 0. Hmmm. I'll propose another option over
the week-end.
