This doesn't happen often, but every now and then it does:

ERROR - Crypt::HSXKPasswd::password(): Failed to generate password with the following error: ERROR - Crypt::HSXKPasswd::_increment_random_cache(): random function returned and invalid value (6.1053317040205e-05) at /usr/local/bin/hsxkpasswd line 464. at /usr/local/bin/hsxkpasswd line 464.

I am still getting this bug. I ran it from both the cpan Crypt and installing from source. Still get the "invalid value" with small numbers.
