How was this tested? Also the patch content isn't a backport, but an earlier test disabling fix. I'd suggest you run 'git format-patch' before 'git send-email' so you can inspect what is going to be sent, and to avoid mistakes like this. Alex
Thank you for your submission. Patchtest identified one or more issues with the patch.

Backport upstream fix to improve stability of randtest.sh by retrying when sigma is too small, avoiding intermittent failures.
