Nack: I just proposed a patch earlier today to avoid compiler warnings [1]. That patch clashes with yours. May I ask you to wait briefly to see whether that patch will be accepted? If yes, it would be great if you could repost the patch that applies to the changed code. PS: when you are at it, maybe even the last line in the function can be removed: setting the entropy_collector to NULL at that the end of the function is moot as well. Thanks.
