"Blocking operation" during SSLEngineImpl.unwrap()

[Anthony Scarpino]

Well if there were a bug it's with NativePRNG as the operation is 
suppose to be non-blocking.  Even so, /dev/urandom is nonblocking.  The 
only reason this looks to have been detected by the tool is because it's 
a blocking read op.  This all seems like an extremely unlikely 
situation.  I don't see this as something SSLEngine should be 
compensating for.
