I will change the random number generator built into OpenSSL to always return sequential numbers, something like: { static char unsigned val = 0; while ( num-- ) *buff++ = val++; } This shouldn't break anything. Then if ever I am in doubt about where a random number came from, I just check to see if it's something like 0102030405.
