Subject: [PATCH] Since sbbs_random() uses xp_random() we should call
xp_randomize() here as well.
This fixes a bug where /dev/urandom is not a character special file
(on FreeBSD it's a symlink) and there is a random() function available.
In this case, the same sequence of random numbers was used for each process
(most noticable with jsexec).
