Hi

I am unable to open /dev/urandom when compiling with -lc_r. The open() call
returns -1, with errno set to 25 (ENOTTY). Here is an example program : 


/* Doesn't Work when compiled with gcc rndtest.c -o rndtest -D_THREAD_SAFE -lc_r */
/* Works when compiled without the threaded c lib. */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>

main()
{
  int fd = -1;

  if((fd=open("/dev/urandom",O_RDONLY,0))==-1) {
    printf("Error : %d\n",errno);
    exit(1);
  }

  exit(0);
}

Any ideas ??
Jacques
