 the wp_rand() function returns a (forced) integer value. for this it
 assumes a maximum of a 32 bit unsigned integer.

 wordpress uses signed integer values. the made assumption will fail on 32
 bit systems then.

 wordpress minimum php requirements prevent the use of constants like
 [http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.constants.php PHP_INT_MAX] for 3.0.x
 and 3.1.x.
