Thanks again.

    # OpenSSL 1.0.2
    $ nm -g /usr/lib/libcrypto.so | grep RAND_egd
    00000000001086c3 T RAND_egd
    00000000001086a3 T RAND_egd_bytes

And:

    $ OpenSSL 1.1.1e
    $ nm -g $HOME/tmp/lib/libcrypto.so | grep RAND_egd
    $

So it looks like EGD is off by default in OpenSSL 1.1.1.

I prefer to avoid EGD in this case.

What do you suggest?
