Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
This is already fixed in CVS..

May be related to bug 27052 which I reproduced (with the same pattern
too).

Description:
------------
The rand() function under Windows XP Pro and possibly other Windows OSs
generates numbers in a strict even-odd-even-odd pattern. The pattern
doesn't occur on *nix OSs
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
echo rand()."<br />\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
expected numbers with no noticable pattern
Actual result:
--------------
numbers were in an even-odd-even-odd pattern
