Hi Stephan, dear fellow hackers, there's a chunk of places in the code, where (cargo-culted?) a random pool gets fed with current system time, presumably to seed it with enough entropy:
TimeValue aTime;
osl_getSystemTime( &aTime );
rtlRandomPool aRandomPool = rtl_random_createPool ();
rtl_random_addBytes ( aRandomPool, &aTime, 8 );
Then again, initPool() in sal/rtl/random.cxx already does the same, so
that really looks redundant?
Cheers,
-- Thorsten
