Anyone want to critique this deterministic random number generator I wrote not long ago in Bash that takes advantage of sha256 sums? https://gist.github.com/pm

$((32#$DRANDOM_SEED)) is not correct: the sha256 hash is in base 16, not 32. With your current implementation every fifth bit is always 0.
