Crash when casting the result of arc4random() to Int

by

Function arc4random returns an UInt32. If you get a value higher than Int.max, the Int(...) cast will crash.

Using

Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(items.count)))

should be a better solution.

(Blame the strange crash messages in the Alpha version…)
