Yes, it is a feature: If you get this message you should not use this 
program for real work!!! The enctryption is in this case VERY WEAK!!!

If you want to test it anyway, I suggest that you comment it out.  
BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT in THIS CASE YOU HAVE NO REAL ENCRYTION 
and I should think of a way to tell the receiver that this message 
has no real encryption.

Even more worse: Using this FAKED RNG may LEAK OUT YOUR SECRET KEY
- THIS IS NO JOKE!

Hmmm, this should work.
