I assume you discovered this case by inspection of the code rather

Hi Marc
Good to know, thanks. Yes it is possible that it did a CRC16
check before. That would make sense as extracting the first
five characters would have been a bit odd otherwise.
Hope the problem is solved now. :-)

I will open a new bug if it isn't ;-)

Ah! I missed that $$ part of the command. You are right, that would
have solved it too. Anyway %N is even better so I'll stick to the
uploaded variant.

Hi again
I'm also adding Bob into this mail chain as he was the one that wrote the
code for RANDOM in 2004.
When testing this out I noticed the following:
ola@quartz:~/svn/fsp/cron-apt$ dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2 /dev/null | cksum

Actually I had suggested the randomization using $RANDOM in email in
May 2003 and after discussion with Ola it settled on using #!/bin/bash
to support it. I

Splitting on whitespace is more resilient to input differences than
splitting on each space character. IMNHO using awk for field
selection is almost always better than using
