I changed the myrand(int size) to myrand(RANDOM_TYPE size) and
recompiled.  The problem was still present.  I then changed the
RANDOM_TYPE typedef from "unsigned int" to "unsigned long int" and the
now the server doesn't hang anymore.  I haven't had a chance to make
sure it is "working" correctly, but it no longer hangs.

(BTW both of my changes together should have counteracted the two
 problems you noted above).
