Actually looking into glibc sources, you can notice there is a lock inside
__random code.

And this comment in the sources:
/* POSIX.1c requires that there is mutual exclusion for the `rand' and
   `srand' functions to prevent concurrent calls from modifying common
   data.  */

But everywhere else says rand is not thread safe.
