This random data is later used as part of input for ngx_crypt function, which expects a zero-terminated string. If the string contains a zero character, then rest of string is ignored, and the seed is effectively truncated. Good that the seed is at the end of the string. :) I believe it's better to exclude strings containing zero character from possible outputs of this function, rather than truncate everything after it.
