I'm having the same problem here: The current random generator is based on the state of the machine and time. If you disconnect the power and reconnect it again, the number sequence will be the same, which is for some usages not suitable.
I've thought about fixes for it: Adding a number of how many times it has booted or analog reading something unused(getting random noise).
I'm not a RNG expert thought, but randomness should always be unpredictable.
