Bug 677412

Description of problem: test version segfaults very early


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Note: this is not yet in rawhide: mongodb-1.7.5-4.fc15
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=228448

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install those RPMs, and then run this:
2. mkdir mongod \
  && gdb --args mongod --port 27018 --pidfilepath mongod/pid --dbpath mongod
3. type "run"
  
Actual results:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Expected results:

no segfault

Additional info:

I rebuilt using the attached patch (to call 'init()' before using _devrandom)
and the resulting tools worked fine as used by iwhd, which then passed its "make check" tests.
