netscape NSRANDFILE compatible with /dev/random ?

What happens if NSRANDFILE is set to /dev/random ? will netscape try to read an infinite number of random bytes ?

... do it. Instead of reading ~/.pgp/randseed.bin, we now get the name of a file from the environment variable NSRANDFILE, and pass that file's contents throught the RNG seed hash. If you decide that its safe, you can set the env variable to point to your randseed.bin file, or any other file of random bits you care to use. ...
