Thank you.

I was surprised to find out that the weak PRNG,
    which I had used to make the star 
    out of two Sierpinski triangles in the previous program 
    (as per your recomendation to superimpose two triangles),
wasn't good enough for the snowflake.

When I used the exact same PRNG as before, 
the snowflake looked the this:

/* BEGIN snowflake.c output */
