I must confess that I said that because I did not have the energy to
figure out the other routes to adding entropy, such as adding an int
(e.g. a PID, which I'm told still makes it in there).
The PID dependency is there because of the need for fork
support--obviously, the PRNG must return a different key stream in the
parent and child process, but the two cannot communicate with each
other.
I'm fully aware why its there! I just wasn't sure (at the time) that
this change didn't also remove it.
