documention. Commit SVN r364219 / Git 8a0edc914ffd changed random(9) to be a shim around prng32(9) and inadvertently caused random(9) to begin returning numbers in the range [0,2^32-1] instead of [0,2^31-1], where the latter has been the documented range for decades. The increased output range has been identified as the source of numerous bugs in code written against the historical output range e.g. ipfw "prob" rules and stats(3) are known to be affected, and a non-exhaustive audit of the tree identified other random(9) consumers which are also likely affected. As random(9) is deprecated and slated for eventual removal in 14.0, consumers should gradually be audited and migrated to prng(9).
