It should be nice the random (long howsmall, long howbig) function to be
implemented in such a way that is indepedent from the random (howbig)..

These two functions have consistency and could be nice to be indepedent..

So, I suggest the following function for break the consistency...

It's a matter of software engineering... because changes to one function may
lead us changes to the other.

long random(long howsmall, long howbig) {
if (howsmall >= howbig)
return howsmall;

return howsmall + (random() % (howbig - howsmall + 1));
}

It's better both functions to depend on standard simple random() only...

Waiting for your opinion...

Happy Hacking!
