> The current behavior (as of 9de508dc4837) is that it will never block on Linux, but could still block on other OS if called before /dev/urandom is initialized.
In practice, only Linux is impacted. See the rationale:

Stoooop. This issue is specific to Linux. If you want to fix the issue on other operating systems, please open a new issue.
Oh, you know what? I already opened such issue :-) The issue #27266 wants to fix the issue on all platforms, not only Linux. Open a second issue if you prefer. |
