Follow-up Comment #2, patch #6797 (project coreutils):

The solution in that discussion does not work for me.  I want the random
data.  I also cannot build a random file that's as big as the hard drive,
since I would need a hard drive to store it.  Furthermore, there is already a
random number generator built into shred, why should I have to invent my own?
