rand in Windows

[John]

Hello. I have OpenSSL-Win64 version 1.0.1c installed on 64-bit Win7.  I am 
trying to use it to create a random generated file for use in stunnel, using 
this command "openssl rand -out filexyz.rnd -hex 2048" from the Windows CLI. 
Although it appears to succeed, but I also see this message when it 
finishes: unable to write 'random state'.  I looked at the online help, but 
nothing I read indicated how to prevent this as far as I can tell. Is this 
normal for Windows and not something to worry about, or what am I missing? 
Thanks.
