[Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
- random devices and only read data for a small fragment of time
- to avoid hangs. Also separate out the Unix variant to it's own
- file, rand_unix.c. For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
+ random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
+ of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
+ (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
+ defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
+ (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
+ platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
+ Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
+ For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
