In vimscript all arguments are computed before running a function, so you tried
to execute the result of `RndTest01a', not the `RndTest01a' itself. Your second
version (which passes a string `:call ...') has no such error (though `:' is not
required here). My version have the following advantage: it is much simpler to
pass long or even recursive complex data to called function.

In this case you should have used ``Time('RndTest01a', 1, 10, 5000)''.
