Removing a node from the skip list

Question

I'm having trouble removing node from the skip list. I have the following structures:

struct Node
{
    int info;
    Node **link_;

    Node(int v, int levels)
    {
        info = v;
        link_ = new Node*[levels];

        for ( int i = 0; i < levels; ++i )
            link_[i] = NULL;
    }
};

struct List
{
    int H; // list height

    Node *Header;

    List()
    {
        Header = new Node(0, maxH);
        H = 1;
    }
};

The problem, I think, is in a function that searches for a node with a given value and then removes it. The function is implemented as follows:

void Remove(int v, List *L)
{
    Node *current = L->Header;

    for ( int i = L->H - 1; i >= 0; --i )
    {
        for ( ; current->link_[i] != NULL; current = current->link_[i] )
            if ( current->link_[i]->info > v )
                break;
            else if ( current->link_[i]->info == v )
            {
                // Node *del = current->link_[i];
                current->link_[i] = current->link_[i]->link_[i];

                // delete del;
                break;
            }
    }
}

The function works fine, but it seems to break if I uncomment the two commented lines. As a result of the break, I mean that the following test code never ends:

int main()
{
    srand((unsigned)time(0));

    List *SKL = new List();


    for ( int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i )
        Insert(rand() * rand(), SKL);

    for ( int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i )
        Search(rand() * rand(), SKL);

    for ( int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i )
        Remove(rand() * rand(), SKL);

    for ( int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i )
        Insert(rand() * rand(), SKL);


    return 0;
}

    int newH = 0;

    unsigned int rnd = rand() * rand(); 
    do
    {
        tmp = lookup[rnd & 255];
        rnd >>= 8;
        newH += tmp;
    } while ( tmp == 8 );

    if ( newH >= L->H )
        ++L->H;

    // this does the actual insertion
    Node *newNode = new Node(v, L->H);
    Node *current = L->Header;
    for ( int i = L->H - 1; i >= 0; --i )
    {
        for ( ; current->link_[i] != NULL; current = current->link_[i] )
            if ( current->link_[i]->info >= v )
                break;

        {
            newNode->link_[i] = current->link_[i];
            current->link_[i] = newNode;
        }
    }

Remove, :

void Remove(int v, List *L)
{
    Node *current = L->Header;

    for ( int i = L->H - 1; i >= 0; --i )
    {
        for ( ; current->link_[i] != NULL; current = current->link_[i] )
        {
            if ( current->link_[i]->info > v )
            {
                break;
            }
            else if ( current->link_[i]->info == v )
            {
                // Node *del = current->link_[i];
                current->link_[i] = current->link_[i]->link_[i];

                // if (0 == i) delete del;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}
