This is the line in question:

php_srand(time(0) * getpid() * (php_combined_lcg() * 10000.0));

This is now (in my patch) in RINIT and thus it is a different pid
it doesn't matter if the RINIT happens the same second..
Or did I misunderstood something? And I know it works now. :)
And it didn't work before. As the PID was always the same like Andi said.

I attached the patch in case you missed it before..
