<p>LoopControl switch from using <code>rand()</code> to using <code>random()</code> for its random numbers when exploring new tile sizes but kept using <code>RAND_MAX</code> to normalize the random number to the range [0,1).</p>
<p>It most likely makes no difference on Linux systems with glibc where (at least on my workstation) <code>RAND_MAX</code> is <code>INT_MAX</code> ie 2^31-1 which is the documented range for <code>random</code>.</p>
