PID check failed. RNG must be re-initialized after fork(). Hint: Try Random.atfork()

I just tried beeswithmachineguns for the first time and spun up 4 instances with the default settings and attacked oe of my urls with default settings and got this stacktrace:

Read 4 bees from the roster.

Assembling bees.
Each of 4 bees will fire 250 rounds, 25 at a time.
Stinging URL so it will be cached for the attack.

Bee 0 is joining the swarm.
Bee 1 is joining the swarm.
Bee 2 is joining the swarm.
Bee 3 is joining the swarm.

You could also upgrade to Paramiko 1.7.7.1 which has a fix for this.
