Re: Current BC master (Java) fails tests

The only change I'm aware of is that is uses /dev/urandom. Otherwise - a perfectly standard installation, same as all the previous JVM/JDK that were installed (and had BC built and tested on them).

I'll experiment with reverting it back to /dev/random, and report here. Though of course, BC shouldn't fail tests because of that.

This appears to be saying that a setSeed call on the native PRNG has failed. It's not actually managing to call any Bouncy Castle provider code.

The "Caused by: java.io.IOException: Operation not permitted" is the give away.

Is there anything unusual about the way the JVM is configured?
