If it’s reseeding an RNG using the current time, that’s fairly bad practice, especially if it’s for any sort of cryptographic purpose.  For general purposes, seed a good RNG once before first use, using /dev/urandom, then just keep pulling values from it as needed.  Or, if cryptographic quality is required, use an actual crypto library’s RNG.
