Comment (by cypherpunks):

 The attached patch uses nsIRandomGenerator, which calls
 PK11_GenerateRandom. It generates more random results than rand() and is
 adapted from an existing comm-central implementation in bug
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902580

 Reviewers should note the rand_buf and character count to see if any
 tweaking needs to be done for additional defense.
