Subject: [PATCH 4/9] ipc: run Net::SSLeay::randomize
Date: Fri,  1 Oct 2021 09:54:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211001095445.9326-5-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211001095445.9326-1-e@80x24.org>

Currently we don't use OpenSSL from child processes of parents
which use OpenSSL, but we may in the future.  So ensure OpenSSL
initializes its PRNG after these forks to avoid one security
pitfall down the line.
