SecureRandom setSeed test

I'm testing a patch for this.

Note that the attached test case will repeatedly output the same bytes.
However, if you change the byte array size to 20 or more, the output is
different per call to `nextBytes'. SHA1 is 20 bytes long, so I suspect that we
were keeping a buffer in our secure random the size of the hash function, and
when we add a seed to it, we are resetting the index into this buffer.
