configured with either of these two libraries, it will now use a built in

fair enough, but you still should tr
When mutt needs a random number (for example for naming the tmp files or
generating a boundary for MIME attachments) it currently uses different
implementation specific functions: random() and either lrand48() or rand()
are used. Which one gets used in specific and the quality of its randomness
