In the above message, you wrote:

Ah!  The joys of a non-standard environment.  :-)

According to the C standard, RAND_MAX is defined in <stdlib.h>.  Don't
bother to look -- SunOS 4 with the bundled compiler doesn't have it.

Our next release will not depend on the existance of RAND_MAX.  In the
meantime, try applying the enclosed patches to files nc_test/util.c and
nf_test/fortlib.c.

Please let me know if they help.
