The self tests were updated to include the Secure Application profile 
recommended by Cryptography Research, Inc in their 2003 audit report. 
Here's what it looks like when running cryptest.exe:

    Testing Padlock RNG generator...

    passed:  VIA RNG is activated
    passed:  von Neumann corrector is activated
    passed:  String filter is deactivated
    passed:  Bias voltage is unmodified
    passed:  All 0's or all 1's test
    passed:  Maurer Randomness Test returned value 0.999400
    passed:  10000 generated bytes compressed to 10010 bytes by DEFLATE
    passed:  discarded 10000 bytes
    passed:  GenerateWord32 and Crop

    Testing RDRAND generator...

    RDRAND generator not available, skipping test.
