Summary: RANDOM fails with ranges > 32768

Initial Comment:
SCL allows a range of values to be specified in the 
Definitions section of a script for an integer 
variable. If this range is greater than 32768, no 
value beyond the 32768th will be generated. This is 
because the random number generation function that is 
used only generates a value in the range 0 to 32767.

For example, the definition:

Integer myvar (0-60000)

will never generate a random value above 32767 
when "GENERATE myvar" is used.
