That's fine and doesn't diminish the properties of the PRNG. In fact the
patch could use a hard coded value to perturb the PRNG. It's only
important to modify the PRNG state of the *parent* process so that
recycled PIDs of *child* processes don't lead to repeated pseudo-random
values.
PID, time and stack are just hard-to-guess properties of the process.
That's all. |
