    [d]nscache reads a seed, up to 128 bytes, from standard input, and passes
    the seed to dns_random_init^1

Yes, dnscache reading the seed from _standard input_ details better the
situation:

    exec<seed or dnscache <seed

become more intelligible. ("If it's a cow don't call it a bovine," says
Ledgard.)

Thank you _very much_ for the vital correction, I don't know how I have
missed
that ... eventually it has been, if I remember correctly, a mere mapping
operation--from daemontools to runit ... And was thinking you were hinting at
some synchronization problems.
