I just built the 2013.56 release and am receiving segfaults on startup.
The offending line is the fwrite() in random.c in write_urandom().

Our RHEL 5 servers appear to have /dev/urandom as read-only.  I am
guessing that is likely the root cause.

 

Commenting out the internals of write_urandom() stopped the segfault.  

 

Maybe a build flag to avoid writing to /dev/urandom would be appropriate
for some platforms?

 

Thanks,

Scott
