Hi, OpenSSL developers.

I try to compile openssl-0.9.8-beta3 on Solaris 8, using 64-bit
Sun Forte compiler (cc: Sun C 5.7 2005/01/07)

When doing 'make test' I get a core dump. But after applying a
simple patch, I am unable to track down the bug any further.

The Solaris PRNG patch 112438 (as mentioned in the FAQ) is
installed.


$ ./Configure solaris64-sparcv9-cc shared
$ make
$ make test

unable to load 'random state'
This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
with much random data.
Consider setting the RANDFILE environment variable to point at a
file that
'random' data can be kept in (the file will be overwritten).

Then I applied the following patch to prevent the core dump:

It seemes to be some kind of problem with RNG seeding.
I tried to set RANDFILE, but that didn't help.

Is it possible to turn on some RNG debugging?
