Summary:                    random appears to be broken
Description: 
As far as I can tell, random() always returns false.  To reproduce:

context ael-randtest {
   123 => {
      one=0; two=0;
      for(x=0; ${x} < 100; x=${x} + 1) {
         random(50)
            one=${one} + 1;
         else
            two=${two} + 1;
      }
      Verbose(0,${one} ${two});
   }
}

and then 'originate Local/123 at ael-randtest application noop' from the CLI.
 It always outputs '0 100' as opposed to the expected (approx) 50 50.

Thank you.

This is indeed the correct fix for 1.4
1.6 and trunk use the , as seperator. 1.4 still uses the |
