This behavior always occurs

Welcome to Porffor (0.47.3) running on Node (22.9.0)
using opt -O1, parser acorn, valtype f64

> crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1));
Uint8Array(1) [ 0 ] 
> crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1));
Uint8Array(1) [ 0 ] 
> crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1));
Uint8Array(1) [ 229 ] 
> crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1));
Uint8Array(1) [ 252 ]

Yeah, I've noticed that one before. I believe that is because a 64-bit random number generator is used but only 32-bit seeds. Another problem is that after compilation, the series of random numbers is deterministic (this behavior is a bit harder to observe due to the lack of run-wasm)
