NetBSD-1.3.2 SPARC IPX make test fails here in randtest:

	d=0;
	for (i=0; i<16; i++)
		d+=n2[i]*n2[i];
	d=(d*8)/25-500000;
	if (!((103 < d) && (d < 5740)))
		{
		printf("test 2 failed, X=%ld.%02ld\n",d/100L,d%100L);
		err++;
		}

gdb reveals :
Breakpoint 4, main () at randtest.c:140
(gdb) print d
$1 = 1567982

Interestingly (sic), if you uncomment the test above this one
it passes...

If you run a make -k test :

cat

The values for h, q, dh, and t are all valid! 

You can recompile the lot w/o optimization and things still break
the same way..
