ensure a good clock() value for usage and tests
We use clock() as a very cheap way of getting a "random" value, but the manpage warns that this could return -1, so we should be dealing with this. Additionally, e.g. on hurd-i386 the value increases only slowly – to slow for our fast running tests for randomness hence producing the same range in both samples, so we introduce a simple busy-wait loop (as clock is counting processor time used by the program) in the test which delays the second sample just enough making our randomness a bit more predictable.
