[PATCH] random.c bugfix

["René Scharfe" <l.s.r@web.de>]

Hi,

there's a bug in random.c, I think. The third argument of
extract_entropy() is supposed to be the number of _bytes_ to extract,
while nwords contains the number of _bytes_ we want. This seems to lead
us to transfer n bytes of entropy and credit for n*4 bytes.

René
