Scott... it looked so cute that I tried it but no maze.  It printed a
repeated pattern though.  Made me suspect that the RAND() function might
be operating differently.  I'm using Microsoft C and it returns a random
value between 1 and 32767.  Does this appear to conflict with anything ?

BTW, if I was forced to guess it's origins it "looks" like an entry in
the obfuscated code contest that someone holds each year.
