I am running on OpenBSD and Linux, both of which have
cryptographic-quality RNGs built in.  When I call RANDOM() in PG, do I
get the old C library random numbers, which are not very random, or do
I get high-quality random numbers from the crypto-RNG that's built in?
Any sugestions for getting high-quality random numbers?
