1) Reseed code is broken, in come case (as I describe) all reseeding data is ignored, only its size is counted until it was as big as 16384. Mark not fix it yet at this moment nor confirm he is able to reproduce this bug.
I'm trying to reproduce this formally. I'm looking for reasons, not any more hacks.
2) Reseeding state may not preserve across the boot due to various reasons like panic, etc. Since _time_ is ignored, all other data /etc/rc tries to collect now can be non-random _easily_!
Unless _time_ will be used, /dev/random is plain unusable for production usage.
Andrey, read the code; nanotime is all over the harvested entropy.
