randomize() is a Borland-esque obscenity.  :)  Try this code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main( void )
{
    srandom( (int) time( NULL ) );

    ...
}

There have been a few minor problems with the Info viewer in the past. 
Please post details about your system and its configuration; also
specify what version of Info you use.  You could also be a bit more
specific about what happens when Info crashes.  :)
