commit 896e8c5713b50ff2ef1478d5c6709874ce57cf05
Author: Dr. Matthias St. Pierre <Matthias.St.Pierre at ncp-e.com>

    md_rand.c: don't stop polling until properly initialized
    
    Previously, the RNG sets `initialized=1` after the first call to
    RAND_poll(), although its criterion for being initialized actually
    is whether condition `entropy >= ENTROPY_NEEDED` is true.
    
    This commit now assigns `initialized=(entropy >= ENTROPY_NEEDED)`,
    which has the effect that on the next call, RAND_poll() will be
    called again, if it previously failed to obtain enough entropy.
