I'm trying to write some simple simulation programs that involve making
calls to the random number generator.  Whenever I try calling the Random
funtion, I get a Bus error.  However, the stackpointer is still even.
 
I've followed the suggestions in IM to call GetDateTime and set randseed
equal to it but I still have the same problem.

Any help in discovering the source of the problem would be much appreciated.
