 When bytes are extracted from the RNG, the following process is used.
 For each group of 10 bytes (or less), we do the following:
 
-Input into the hash function the top 10 bytes from the local 'md'
-(which is initialized from the global 'md' before any bytes are
-generated), the bytes that are to be overwritten by the random bytes,
-and bytes from the 'state' (incrementing looping index). From this
-digest output (which is kept in 'md'), the top (up to) 10 bytes are
-returned to the caller and the bottom (up to) 10 bytes are xored into
-the 'state'.
