Comment (by buffi):
The current patch is broken.
ctime() will only produce different output each second (an example output
is 'Mon Apr 27 14:18:38 2009'), so the same process will get the same
random seed if two requests are handed to it during the same second.
It would be better to use something like random.seed("%d%f" % (getpid(),
time())) , but I'm unsure if this is the correct way to fix this issue, so
I won't submit a patch.
