I'm getting a number of messages in the form: "[   12.526153] random:
slimserver.pl: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)", also with 32,
64 and 256 bytes read, at the end of my dmesg output.  Is this anything
to worry about?  It suggests that the process slimserver.pl is trying to
read unrandom before it is initialised.  From the information here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Random_number_generation#/dev/urandom
, the suggestion would be to use the getrandom() system call rather than
reading the /dev/urandom device.
