Are nul's ok? I just ran it a bunch of times, and here are four keys that
were spit out (with an added '| cat -v' at the end):
c3876a72354f7be7bc4706739929955f
6b54bc60abeb79e5fad3e548607^@76d5
4f6fcb33e86ee3735^@8b40ce705e849f
c5a0ed43e86de3a35^@fc1ec2575d87a9
[ incidentally, FreeBSD's syscons will not cut-n-paste real nul's ]
