+ o Major bugfixes:
+ - Do not allow OpenSSL engines to replace the PRNG, even when
+ HardwareAccel is set. The only default builtin PRNG engine uses
+ the Intel RDRAND instruction to replace the entire PRNG, and
+ ignores all attempts to seed it with more entropy. That's
+ cryptographically stupid: the right response to a new alleged
+ entropy source is never to discard all previously used entropy
+ sources. Fixes bug 10402; works around behavior introduced in
+ OpenSSL 1.0.0. Diagnosis and investigation thanks to "coderman"
+ and "rl1987".
