openssh unix dev - Nov 2001 - entropy.c patch to avoid unnecessary reading of /dev/urandom

This one-line patch prevents OpenSSH from depleting entropy
unnecessarily from /dev/urandom when the OpenSSL library acquires its
own entropy.

Without this patch OpenSSH opens /dev/urandom and reads 32 bytes, and
then OpenSSL opens it again and reads an additional 20.
