/*----- Revision history --------------------------------------------------*
 *
 * $Log: noise.c,v $
 * Revision 1.5  1998/04/23 13:25:23  mdw
 * Try to reduce the amount of `ps'ing done under OSF/1, because /dev/kmem
 * seems very slow.
 *
 * Revision 1.4  1998/02/20 17:52:32  mdw
 * Don't use `df' for noise gathering, because it gets upset when NFS
 * servers aren't responding.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  1998/01/12 16:46:19  mdw
 * Fix copyright date.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  1997/08/20  16:19:57  mdw
 * Fix test for `/dev/random' so that it doesn't close `stdin' if it fails!
 *
 * Revision 1.1  1997/08/07 09:45:26  mdw
 * New source file added to acquire environmental noise and add it to the
 * randomness pool (see `rand.c').
