You could choose a # longer string here but for a salt, 8 bytes of randomness is probably # fine.

Mainly small fixes, improvements, and workarounds for fork() issues with pseudo-random number generators shipped with Ruby (Kernel#rand, OpenSSL::Random (used by SecureRandom and also by Rails). If there are any other fixes/improvements that could be useful let us know. I think this is nearing the end of the line for the 3.x series which will then go into maintenance mode. I''m looking at 4.x being the crazy series that allows us to run thousands of worker _p...
