A glance at the README.OpenBSD file for 4.1 in /usr/src/usr.sbin/bind
shows (among other things):

- add LCG (Linear Congruential Generator) implementation to libisc
- use LCG instead of LFSR for ID generation until LFSR is proven reliable
- strlcpy/strlcat/snprintf fixes


Without digging into things deeper, it looks like this is unlikely to
be an issue since the OBSD version doesn't rely on LFSR.
