Very Computer

Can some one tell me why the following program generates random number
between 2**15-1, even when I am using the BSD version. I used the
following command to compile and link:

        cc -D_BSD -DBSD -DAIX randeg.c -lbsd -lc

I looked up the info pages of rand where it says that you need to use
-lbsd to generate random numbers between 2**32-1. Any help will be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

System: IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2.3
^^^^^^^
Program (randeg.c):
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define N 20
main ()
{
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<N;i++)
    printf("%2d) - %d\n", i, rand());
  return 0;

Output:
