>Description:

A definition of UINT32_MAX is missing from /usr/include/machine/limits.h

This is an obvious oversight as the manpage for arc4random() shows it
returning u_int32_t

I found a note on Usenet to the effect that this was (may have been?)
fixed in FreeBSD 5?
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

I think that adding

#define UINT32_MAX      0xffffffffU     /* max value for an unsigned int */

to limits.h will fix this.

Note also that /usr/src/usr.bin/jot/jot.c uses the UINT32_MAX on line
number 280, but someone has replaced this with the actual constant.
(If jot.c is ever updated this may be a problem again)
