[svn-r16698] Purpose: Fix bug 503
Description: Changed Skip list package to use a deterministic skip list. This allows the skip list package to avoid calling rand() and srand(), even on machines without rand_r(). There is no longer a p-value or maximum level for skip lists. Tested: jam, smirom, linew (h5committest)
