[issue18747] Re-seed OpenSSL's PRNG after fork

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

The ssl module exposes OpenSSL's PRNG and advertises the API as secure CPRNG: http://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#random-generation

OpenSSL uses its own PRNG to create (amongst others) session keys for SSL connections.
