Graph - random_vertex question

Hi,

I have downloaded boost_1_18_3 and am trying to build the
libs/graph/test/graph.cpp exe. I was actually using ggcl a few months ago and am
now converting over programs I had to BGL.

Anyway, 

In boost/graph/graph_utility.hpp, the rand() function is commented out thus,

  inline std::size_t random_number(std::size_t N) {
#if 0
    std::size_t ret = rand() % N; 
#else
    std::size_t ret = 0;
    (void)N; // suppress unused argument warning.
#endif
    return ret;
  }

Is there are reason for this? Currently random_vertex(Graph& g) does not work.

Regards
