I think you're wrong.

Issue is not blocking, issue that your java application never closes the
File object, and just wait till that object is closed by GC.

In Linux it works, because usual Linux setup has very large limit of number
of open files, some of them 1M for example.

Thus, error:

> Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /dev/random (Too many open 
> files)

actually says that.
