JDK 8 RFC 7189139 version 2: BigInteger's staticRandom field can be a source of bottlenecks

[Brian Burkhalter]

Threading and Random Number Experts,

Revisiting https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7189139 which was last discussed in this thread:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2013-September/020524.html

Here is an alternative solution: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/7189139.2/.

If this seems reasonable, does anyone have suggestions as to testing?

Thanks,

Brian
