As entropy may not be + well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a + chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half + of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains + all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result + in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending + on virtually all of 'md'.
