Bug report for Octave 2.0.13 configured for sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4

Description:
-----------

Having compiled octave and run a few tests of my own, I find that rand()
doesn't work. Attempting to call it causes octave to crash.

Any suggestions? Thanks for help with compilation, which I was able to complete
after adding the fortran libraries
Regards
N
