    This appears to have corrected the issue.  I don't understand exactly
why, though, since the perl docs seem to swear that srand is needed only
once.  I barely get any traffic on the site I noticed this on, so I would've
expected the perl random call to have better randomness than that.  Unless
fork or prefork somehow factors in?  I don't know but I'm curious.
