  SYNOPSIS
    my_rnd()
    rand_st    INOUT  Structure used for number generation
    
  RETURN VALUE
    generated pseudo random number

  NOTE:
    This is codes so that it can be called by two threads at the same time
    with minimum impact.
    (As the number is supposed to be random, it doesn't matter much if
    rand->seed1 or rand->seed2 are updated with slightly wrong numbers or
    if two threads gets the same number.
