I got problem with that even when crytographically secure randomness wasn't needed more than once. A specific case included adding jitter on some timeout to avoid all hosts to expire at the same time, and used mersenne twister with a pseudo random seed. There still were way too many hosts ending up with the same timeout.

System time is not enough.
