#434: MacRuby should use arc4random() rather than random()

     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new                  
 Priority:  blocker        |   Milestone:  MacRuby 0.5          
Component:  MacRuby        |    Keywords:  security crypto      
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Recent discussion in #433 pointed out a flaw in using rand(), leading to
 the more pertinent observation that anything wanting genuinely
 cryptographic randomness should use arc4random().   See man page for
 arc4random() for instructions on how to use it as a drop-in replacement
 for random() / srandom().
