 This bug appears to have been fixed. Or, at a minimum, the repro steps
 fail to reproduce the problem on 5.3-beta5.
 
 A brief code inspection of randomdev.c shows that the read function now
 has logic to handle blocking. It even appears that it will return
 EWOULDBLOCK if you have opened with the non-blocking option and no data
 is available.
 
 Someone else might want to take a brief look at this, verify it and
 close it.
