Aris Adamantiadis reports :

When accepting a new connection, the server forks and the child process handles the request. The RAND_bytes() function of openssl doesn’t reset its state after the fork, but simply adds the current process id (getpid) to the PRNG state, which is not guaranteed to be unique.
