That's kind of baroque. Why can't APR just provide a way of getting
at /dev/urandom? That will produce higher-quality random data than
apr_random_* (because it will use as much random seed data as the system
has available, and not some amount guessed by the APR-using application)
and would be much easier to use than having to manually initialize and
seed an in-process PRNG.

Oh well.
