What are you using the PRNG in conjunction with? Hardware (mouse, chip
noise, etc) or some other scheme? The best 'random' numbers come from
radiation, or perhaps a mouse wiggling thing that PGP uses to get
entropy.

I created a simple mouse random number generator, and ENT told me it
could be compressed 0%, and furthermore said it was completely random.
Wierd huh? But true on every account.
