Description:
------------
When using the 5.4 snaps calling mcrypt_create_iv with either MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM
or MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM as source always fails to gather sufficient random data
regardless of the specified size.
(Could be related: http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=312201 )
Test script:
---------------
<?php var_dump(mcrypt_create_iv(1, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));
Expected result:
----------------
string 'm' (length=1)
[or similar]
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: mcrypt_create_iv() [<a
href='function.mcrypt-create-iv'>function.mcrypt-create-iv</a>]: Could not
gather sufficient random data in D:\htdocs\stack\quick.php on line 3
