>Description:
arc4random.3 says that "arc4random() reseeds itself periodically from the 
kernel strong random number generator".

That is not true, as can be seen easily by inspection of arc4random.c.  
Instead, the seeding from /dev/urandom is done ONLY at initialization time, 
never at any other time unless arc4_stir() is called explicitly.

The documented behavior seems to be the better option, so I think of this as a 
software bug rather than a doc bug.
