Committed, thanks for reporting.

While there, i also deleted the word "will".  Manuals usually do not
need future tense, except in unusual situations.

The paragraph now reads:

   --random-source=filename
       For random sort, the contents of filename are used as the source
       of the `seed' data for the hash function.  Two invocations of
       random sort with the same seed data produce the same result if
       the input is also identical.  By default, the arc4random_buf(3)
       function is used instead.
