Hi.  I'm working on FIPS-validating a product using OpenSSL (but with
a crypto module spanning wider, so we can't easily use the OpenSSL
crypto module).  During code review, some questions about the RNG
tests have come up.  Most specifically, from what I can read, SP
800-90 requires that (in 11.3.4) the reseed function shall perform a
known-answer test before reseeding, and from what I can read in the
code, this doesn't happen.

Is there a reason for this?
