It is not yet clear why. mmap randomization and AT_RANDOM elf vector use the "nonblocking" entropy pool (which I hope is non-blocking), so it should not affect this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
