The problem seems to be libgcrypt's random generator. As far as I understand
when you fork() the random generator is on the same state for every children.
That's why the server produces the same session ID in the second process.
I am not really sure about it, and I don't know how to overcome this, that's
why I crosspost to gcrypt-devel as well.
