    OpenSSL did add to the entropy pool a bunch uninitialized memory and the PID.

    Did they have a comment above the code explaining why it was doing it that way? If not, I’d blame OpenSSL for it.

    The OpenSSL codebase has a bunch of issues, which is why somewhat-API-compatible forks like LibreSSL and BoringSSL exist.
