commit afe9bba749b9fd897b7e7d416d904852d867d2c2
Author: Richard Levitte <levitte at openssl.org>

    crypto/mem.c: on Windows, use rand() instead of random()
    
    Windows doesn't provide random().  In this particular case, our
    requirements on the quality of randomness isn't high, so we don't
    need to care how good randomness rand() does or doesn't provide.
    
    Fixes #3778
