The lrand48 man page states the following:
Functions lrand48() and nrand48() return non-negative long
integers uniformly distributed over the interval [0, 231).
Functions mrand48() and jrand48() return signed long
integers uniformly distributed over the interval [ -
231, 231).
I believe the interval is more likely 2**31 not 231.
