Maybe more importantly (at least from my POV), if you're looking for
"random bytes", using uninitialized memory (assuming the OS or C
runtime doesn't initialize it anyway) instead of something always
initialized to the same fixed sequence of bytes actually might be a good
idea - or did I misunderstand something?
