I posted this on the "users" mailing list, but it occurs to me that it might
be more appropriate on the developer's list.

I'd like to use the Ocotillo (http://ocotillo.sourceforge.net) PRNG with
OpenSSL, but it is failing when I do the "make test" in the "randtest"
module. Ocotillo creates a named pipe at /dev/urandom but if OpenSSL is
treating it like a character device it may not work correctly. I'm out of my
depth here, but I'm hoping that somebody will be able to help me out. I'm
not a C programmer, but I've been a programmer for the past 28 years and I
am currently a Unix system administrator, so fire away! Any help anybody
(OpenSSL developers?) can give would be wonderful!
