[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#363516: something obvious

The ssleay_rand_add() change was fairly idiotic. Even with no
understanding of that function, it is strikingly obvious that after
commenting out this statement:

	MD_Update(&m,buf,j);

the only remaining use of the buf parameter is:

	buf=(const char *)buf + j;

That is, the buf parameter becomes unused. This is a clear indication
that the person who made the change had no idea of what he was doing.
