Bug 710

The initstate() call does not save the current position of the previous state,
so if we switch back with setstate(), the sequence of random numbers generated
id different than if we had never called initstate/setstate.  This works on AIX,
MacOSX and FreeBSD.  The test case is simple:

Peter-Bergners-Computer:~ peter$ cat rand.c 
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  int i;

  srandom(1);
  for (i=0; i < 10; i++) {
    printf("%d\n", (int)random());
    if (argc >= 2) {
      /* This should not perturb the random number sequence above */
      char *os, state[128];
      os = initstate (1, state, sizeof(state));
      setstate (os);
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

Expected result:
[bergner@otta bergner]$ gcc rand.c
[bergner@otta bergner]$ ./a.out
