Hi,
Welcome!

And they're much appreciated. But we're not a super-irc focused
community, which means that there's a chance we could miss your patches.
And that would suck.

No worries at all.

Understood. And I suspect that if they were in the context of a
conversation, it wouldn't have even occurred to me to mention the
preference for sending them via the list.

The goal of the code you patched is to end up with relatively random
data. I was fairly sleepy from a long day on-site at a customer and an 8
hour flight afterward, but I _think_ that what I meant was that it was a
semantic noop in that it wouldn't change the system's overall behaviour,
not that it wouldn't generate differerent randomness ;)

I don't have any objection to the patch..and it'd make a good first
test of a shiny new commit bit ;) Mail me the output of 'htpasswd -n'
off-list and I'll generate you a commit bit.
