There ought to be a warning about this sort of thing.

[CHAR] random: Avoid signed integer division

Joihn Reiser pointed out that we use signed integer divisions
unnecessarily in random.c.  This is bad because the C compiler
is obliged to consider the case of a negative dividend.

This patch changes all the relevant divisions and modulus operations
to use unsigned arithmetic.
