https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/512

This PR removes all of the dangerous Windows entropy gathering routines 
in favor of standard CryptGenRandom calls, as was discussed in the 
"Improving OpenSSL default RNG" thread on openssl-dev. This fixes 
common, repeatable crashes that happen when running openssl under the VS 
debugger.
