New submission from Matthew Ryan:
On Solaris 11.3 (intel tested, but I assume issue is on SPARC as well),
I found the following fails:
import os
os.urandom(2500)
The above throws OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument.
It turns out that the Solaris version of getrandom() is limited to returning
no more than 1024 bytes, per the manpage:
The getrandom() and getentropy() functions fail if:
EINVAL The flags are not set to GRND_RANDOM, GRND_NONBLOCK or both,
or bufsz is <= 0 or > 1024.
I've attached a possible patch for this issue, against the 3.5.1 source
tree.
