The original issue seems to be fixed; on gcj version `gcj (GCC) 4.2.0 20060410
(experimental)' I get this output from the `seed' testcase:
> Byte difference in a seeded PRNG: 64
> Seed data:

David, are you saying that if you have a program like:
> import java.security.SecureRandom;
>
> class sr
> {
> public static void main (String[] argv) throws Throwable
> {
> SecureRandom sr = new SecureRandom ();
> byte[] b = new byte[64];
> sr.nextBytes (b);
> for (int i = 0; i < b.length; i++)
> {
> System.out.print (b[i]);
> System.out.print (' ');
> }
> System.out.println ();
> }
> }
...that you get the same output every time?
If so, this is because our default SecureRandom isn't seeded when created.
Ideally, we would try to use `/dev/random,' or some timing data to get a random
seed.
