    Subject: Question Regarding SecureRandom

I have an application that creates a secure connection between two VMs.
On windows NT I can run both VM's on the same box and bring the
connection up in a reasonable amount of time. If I boot Windows 95 on
the same machine and then attempt to create a secure connection between
two VMs running under Win95, the VMs appear to almost deadlock while
constructing SecureRandom(). When SecureRandom eventually returns, one
VM appears to be locked. Is there a known problem with SecureRandom on
Win95 platforms or constructing SecureRandom from two VMs at the same
time? I've tested the same code on NT, OS/2, and AIX and it works on
each of these platforms.
