Using the free Fortify SCA 4 software that comes with "static analysis"

Using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Microsoft provided VHD) with
"/analyze", no buffer overflow is detected (whatever rnd[] value).

Using the following perl script two buffer overflows are detected:
cat vuln.c | perl -ne '/rnd\[i\]/ and print "Buffer overflow!\n"'

This post does have a point. Discuss among yourselves.
