I submitted RT #2563 back on July 14, 2011. It contains a major
improvement to the default random-number seeding method used on OpenVOS
(and only on OpenVOS). I submitted patches for 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 (they
happen to be the same, but I was trying to make it easy for people). I
tested it very carefully here, and all of the self-tests still pass. I
have received no comments or objections to it.

Would it be possible to apply this patch to the 1.0.1 repository?   I
just re-ran the patch here, and it applies cleanly to today's 1.0.1
snapshot.

It would also be nice to apply it to the 1.0.0 repository, if possible.
