Before this fix, every PRNG::nextBytes calls all of CryptAcquireContext, CryptGenRandom, and CryptReleaseContext. Now, CryptAcquireContext is called once in PRNG::new, and CryptReleaseContext is called by a Cleaner, and nextBytes only calls CryptGenRandom.
I haven't read about thread-safety in any MS document, the current Windows-PRNG service is marked ThreadSafe=true (in SunMSCAPI.java). If we cannot be really sure, we can change it to false.
I've downloaded nearly 1000 Mach5 runs of this test, the enhancement is so good that I adjusted the test to be stricter.

Please advise me if the following usage of Cleaner is correct because I really haven't observed the releaseContext method being called.
+ Cleaner.create().register(this,
+ () -> releaseContext(ctxt));
Thanks
