Synopsis: libc arc4random does not discard first N words (libkern arc4random does)

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: das
State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 19 20:22:05 PST 2004
State-Changed-Why: 
Committed, thanks!  I changed the code to call arc4_getbyte() instead
of arc4_getword() because doing so generated better code.  (Both
functions are inlined, and the latter is larger.)  I also documented
the rationale behind the choice of 1024 bytes.
