  Modified files:
    sys/dev/randomdev    yarrow.c 
  Log:
  One should never allocate 4-kilobyte structs and such on the interrupt
  stack.  It's bad for your machine's health.
  
  Make the two huge structs in reseed() static to prevent crashes.  This
  is the bug that people have been running into and panic()ing on for the
  past few days.
