Hence my attempt to use /dev/urandom. I had suggested this in a discussion on this list about a year ago and I thought I would try to implement it now... I acknowledge the limitations of this approach.. maybe it would be easier to just stick a 1 sec delay before the randomize :)
You could use a number from /dev/random or /dev/urandom to initialize randseed (that's just a global variable in the system unit, which is the only thing that randomize() changes when you call it), instead of randomize(). Then you'll get the best of both worlds.
