I'm not following here. […]
I agree with pespin. If the counter is only 8-bit wide, the probability of accidentially using the same "random" counter value than before is rather low. If it was 32bit or more, I think ok, one can get away with the "random" value... but not at 8 bit.
Whats' wrong with the osmo-ggsn approach of having a file in the filesystem storing a single integer, which gets incremented on every program start? Doesn't sound overly complex to me?
