APR?

We need to distinguish between a PRG and a cryptographic-grade random number
generator.  PRGs are faster but are often seeded by a crypto-grade RNG value to
get going.  (I think Pedro used that characteristic to seed the new PRG for
CALC.) A crypto-grade RNG has very different performance characteristics.

That distinction may be meant here, and there is code in SVN that does fairly
elaborate things to get some random numbers to fire up a PRG with.  (I'm never
sure whether and where code in the SVN is actually used, so don't know if I
have seen the SAL one or not.)
