I would like to merge this change to 5.3. It is very useful to avoid bad side effects while reading on devices like /dev/random. Right now, any userland code (or internals code not changing this option) reads 8192 bytes, which is rather bad for the random device, as it will run out of seeds pretty quickly, when called from a web application. Any objection? By the way, I'm working on the next step for trunk only, adding context support to the plain file stream API.
