Bug #11395

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 9 years ago

When `/proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail` /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail is 0, Ruby gets stuck during initialization. 

     $ ruby -v 
     (stuck) 

 This is caused by r51182.    I think that the `GRND_NONBLOCK` GRND_NONBLOCK flag should be set to `getrandom` getrandom syscall. 

 The following patch works for me.    But I have no idea to remove the magic number "1 (= `GRND_NONBLOCK`)". GRND_NONBLOCK)".
