Perhaps a more reliable means than pure brute force could be designed to harvest private keys.
Contact the OpenSSL devs if you find anything: http://www.openssl.org/support/
As well as the implementors of /dev/urandom

I am interested on one aspect of the regular qt client: private key generation.

Where can I find the code responsible for this? I am assuming some form of random number generation is done here.

I intend to research into the function used and look for patterns.
