Maybe I should have posted more code. This is the function that is being called each time:

Code:
// Pull random array element to be called for each character.
int ranit(int char_array[]) {
    srand ( time(NULL) );
    int RandIndex = rand() % DATA_SIZE;

    return char_array[RandIndex];
}


It selects a random in the array being called and works.

In another function all the arrays mentioned have a random number with /dev/urandom generated and assigned to each element.

Sorry if I was vague. I just have about 600 lines of code now and was trying to narrow down what was relevant to fit here. My apologies.

NAME
rand(), rand_r(), srand() - simple random-number generator SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
uses a multiplicative, congruential, random-number generator with period 2^32 that returns successive pseudo-random numbers in the range from 0 to 2^15-1. can be called at any time to reset the random-number generator to a random starting point. The generator is initially seeded with a value of 1. returns a random number at the address pointed to by the randval parameter. The seed parameter can be set at any time to start the random- number generator at an arbitrary point. Note The spectral properties of leave a great deal to be desired. provides a much better, though more elaborate, random-number generator (see drand48(3C)). RETURN VALUE
If seed or randval is NULL, returns 0. Otherwise, returns a psuedo-random integer. EXAMPLES
The following: int x, y; srand(10); x = rand(); y = rand(); would produce the same results as: int x, y, s = 10; x=rand_r(&s); y=rand_r(&s); WARNINGS
Users of should note that rand_r() now conforms with POSIX.1c. The old prototype of is supported for compatibility with existing DCE applications only. SEE ALSO
