  34 <PRE>Just as a follow up, the process for generating random nicks is
  35 weakened by only using rand() the first time - if that's in use, the
  36 nicks will be predictable in a series, meaning a malicious user can
  37 register or link the next N nicks that will pop up and splat the same
  38 person repeatedly.
