Works for me on Linux:

[derick <email protected> seti]$ php -q
<?php
echo rand(1,50)-1;
echo "\n";
?>
27

Did you use srand to seed the random number generator?
(www.php.net/srand)

calling: rand(1, 50)-1 will always get 1 !! try it for your self..this bug is only in 4.05 ..i imediately rolled back to 4.04pl1 and it works perfect again.

I didn't compile my module..downloaded the win32 build.
