Not that I am aware of. I will look into it later this week again and report back.

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.
>> Right, /dev/random is blocking, /dev/urandom is non-blocking. I just checked BlockHound and it seems to have the names of private methods in the java.io and java.net classes and I think instruments these methods on the assumption that they are blocking calls. The list seems to have been generated from an older JDK too, not really in sync with release JDK releases. So not clear to me that there is really an issue here.
