Yeah, although I'm not sure why the behavior was changed
in the 1.1.10 timeframe, since maintaining the "old"
behavior seemed like a more "general" result, unless,
of course, the usage of RANDFILE wasn't known:

RAND_file_name() generates a default path for the random seed file. buf points to a buffer of size num in which to store the filename. The seed file is $RANDFILE if that environment variable is set, $HOME/.rnd oth- erwise. If $HOME is not set either, or num is too small for the path
       name, an error occurs.

Of course, this is all based on looking at just the patch file;
I plan on actually looking over the whole ssl.c file to
see if my understanding matches the actual codebase usage :)
