Subject: bundled arc4random.c has buffer overflows on Win32
The bundled arc4random.c file has bugs causing buffer overflows and performance issues in Win32 *ONLY* – please update it from the latest version at https://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS/dist/hosted/other/ before compiling for Win32 (Cygwin or so). The next version (probably 1.42) will have this (and other things) fixed, but is not ready yet. (Developer buried in real life, etc.)
From: tg [...] mirbsd.de
Fixed in 1.42, which should be uploaded any time now
