The "extra nybble" is just you using "%04x" to print the unsigned
shorts, forcing leading zeroes to be printed. So the exported variable
will alsways print a multiple of 4 digits, regardless of the actual
random value produced.
If you do

     for (i = 0; i < sN1; i++)
     {
         fprintf(stdout, (i == 0) ? "%X" : "%04X", n1[i]);
     }

instead you'll most likely get identical results.
