if you want to try my personal fix, I inserted this code at the begin of the
context_init function in ssl.c:
 
#define DIM_BUF 128
 
        unsigned char buf[DIM_BUF];
        int l;
        double r;
 
        srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));  
        r = ( (double) (rand()%DIM_BUF) ) / DIM_BUF;
        _snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%.0f", r);
        l = sizeof(buf);
        RAND_seed(&buf, l);

        log(LOG_DEBUG, "Generating %d bits of RANDOM data...", l*8);
 
        if (RAND_status()==0)
                log(LOG_DEBUG, "PRNG still contains not sufficient entropy!");
