:Reviewed and Not Approved by: kris. You're using a weak seeding mechanism
:and a handmade arc4 implementation which is not as good as the one we
:already have in libc.
:
:IMO, if you ask for a review and get objections, you should wait to
:address them before actually committing..otherwise, what's the point?

    I sure hope the algorithm does not recycle PIDs for a reasonable amount
    of time, or you may end up with a race in scripts that kill processes
    via their /var/run pid's.  You know: kill -HUP, then kill -9 sequences
    and such.
