Package: gnumeric Hi,
gnumeric's random number generator is actually reading waaay too many bytes from /dev/urandom. On every call to random_01_device 256 *bytes* are read. Most distribution functions call random_01_normal (as it could be expected) but every call to it calls twice the _device function, and some en up calling it 10 or more times. This is insane, really. Don't abuse the kernel's PRNG.
