[erlang-questions] How random is this

[Johan Montelius]

I needed a procedure that made a process crash with random intervals so I  
wrote someting like this:

-module(crash).
-export([crash/0]).

crash() ->
   case random:uniform(100) of
	X when X < 10 ->
	  true = false;
	X ->
	  %% io:format("value ~w~n", [X]),
	  ok
   end.


works fine until it actually crashes, then the random function does not  
generate a new value, it's stuck in the value that caused the crash. Could  
be a feature, could be somthing else.
