Yes. But there is a work around: it just writes 1024 bytes of
pseudo-random crap to $HOME/.rnd 
So if you have a /dev/random or /dev/urandom on your system, simply run:
dd if=/dev/random of=$HOME/.rnd bs=1k count=1

Otherwise, find a way to grab enough random-looking garbage and put it
into $HOME/.rnd 
The result may be bigger than 1 KB -- the bigger the better in fact,
the file will be shortened after the first use.
