I might be wrong but MRG32k3a doesn't seem to have been cryptanalyzed extensively enough to count as cryptographically secure. Probably it isn't.
The crypto library on Planet has random-bytes and random-bytes! that ought to be more secure. (However, I do not know the code OpenSSL uses to gather entropy on different platforms.) The library hasn't been updated for a while.
