Modified:

Log:
Add a debug CLI command to seed random(3).

This is a lot less useful than it could have been, as the Open Group
only mandates that:

	Like rand(), random() shall produce by default a sequence
	of numbers that can be duplicated by calling srandom() with
	1 as the seed.

But crucially leaves out *which* sequence of numbers.
