New Revision: 322012
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/322012

Log:
  MFC r321605:
  
  As in r315225, discard 3072 bytes of RC4 bytestream instead of 1024.
  (This implementation of arc4rand(9) is used by the userland ipftest
  utility as it approximates ipfilter kernelspace in userspace.)
