[ODE] dRandInt Crash Fix

[Colin Bonstead]

Yup, we are using D3D and we're not setting the D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE 
flag.  I thought we set it back to full precision in a few sections in 
the code, but now I can't find them.  Anyway, I know ODE wasn't getting 
it switched so I'm sure it was using 24 bit precision.  So yeah, I would 
much rather have an integer based rand.

Forget that, it's kinda bogus.  However, it leaves your
strange problem unexplained.  Are you using D3D and letting
it lower the x87 internal accuracy?

Meanwhile I think I'm happier with the xor-folding int
implementation anyway...
