/*  hi there!
*
*  can anybody tell my why the following code compiled with:............

*  gcc -g -D_GNU_SOURCE filename.c -o outputfile
*
*  ....generates all sort of strange numbers but when compiled under
borland gives me the desired *   random numbers between 1 and 6  ??? how
do i do it to get the numbers between 1 and 6.
*  this example is from a book about C so it can't be that wrong, can
it?
