Attached patch v1.0 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
In bug 607117, we ended up initializing NSS during startup.  This is the cause of our current Ts regression, so we need to stop doing that.

Shaver suggested I steal jsmath.cpp's random number implementation if it works.  It looks to be a suitable PRNG implementation (https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/jsmath.cpp#514), and this patch implements it for Places code.

If NSS initialization ever gets small enough, we can switch to using it again, but for now this will have to do.

Try server data (just running xpcshell since that will give us the coverage we want):

v1.0

Looking closer at the output of our test for this, it looks like the last character in our guid is always K, which is not desireable.  Going to improve the test to catch this problem, and figure out what is up :(

Better approach.  Making sure this works on unix via the try server first though...

v2.0

Try server appears to be OK with this.

Is this confirmed on Places to resolve the regression?

Past expiriemnts showed that it was, but after yesterday's merge, and early talos results with this patch, it didn't look like it.  I'll have more data later today.
Try server numbers show a small regression there still, which is annoying.  However this did make a bunch of the regression go away.
