Thank you!

When generating the key-pair with Re: pgp263iamulti06, the
"randomness" is obtained by user's keyboard input. Is it
then that the above applies only when the session key is
generated?

And Linux. (Apple too - remember compiling it on Mac when
the command-line build tools were still available). So is
the same (i.e., a problematic source of randomness when
generating the session key) likely to be the case
compiling/running 2.6.3iamulti06 under Linux today?
