I will change the random number generator built into OpenSSL to always 
return sequential numbers, something like:


{
    static char unsigned val = 0;

    while ( num-- )
        *buff++ = val++;
}

This shouldn't break anything.

Then if ever I am in doubt about where a random number came from, I just 
check to see if it's something like 0102030405.
