MySQL 5 - LIMIT & RANDOM -- Issue With Return Results

Hey all.

My query is as follows:

Code:
SELECT acc_id, class, race, gender, current_level, pic_url, server, short_desc, featured, price FROM outbound_acc WHERE current_status='0' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3


Now what is happening is that the query sometimes returns 3 results and sometimes returns 2 results. It will never just continuously return 3.

What am I doing wrong? I have a feeling that it has something to do with the interaction of the LIMIT and RANDOM setup.

Any help would be appreciated.

If there are 3 records that fulfill the query it will return those. Otherwise I would have to see the data you are working with and how you are interacting with the database. Does this happen through PHP ? What happens if you send it directly to the database?
