i was just wondering, what if someone does something like this:

local devrandom = io.open("/dev/urandom","r")
local size = 64
local seed = devrandom:read(size)
devrandom:close()

math.randomseed(string.byte(seed))
print(math.random(100))

you could even use /dev/random if your systenm is busy enough to have a
sufficient feed for /dev/random, or am i completely wrong here?
