The app segfaults when trying to get the next random device in the list since the list is now NULL.
The for-loop did not even get to read any data from the random device since the FD_SET failed to add the fd to the zeroed list. Anyway, it tries to read from /dev/urandom first, which (as far as I know) does not care about entropy. Thanks for your help.
