Subject:	Safeness of arc4random while fork
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

Hello,

I saw this issue while building LibreSSL on Cygwin64.

I had downloaded LibreSSL tar ball from here.
https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-2.5.3.tar.gz
And I tried to build it, build was ok, but 1 regression test failed.

This test is testing the safeness of arc4random() while forking.
With other platforms, linux, *bsd, OSX, MinGW64, this test never fail.

I checked FAQ and ML archives, but couldn't find anything.
Has anyone experienced this already ?
Could someone check the implementation of arc4random functions, please ?

build log:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 testpc001 2.8.0(0.309/5/3) 2017-04-01 20:47 x86_64 Cygwin

$ ./configure

...

$ make check

FAIL: arc4randomforktest.sh

I posted this issue to LibreSSL project, too.
