From 7c90e2cbda677a1a9993403df192f31fb011a112 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Randall Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2019 10:27:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bytes/hash: disable seed test on 32-bit platforms The distribution of hash outputs when varying the seed is not good enough on 32-bit platforms. This isn't a likely attack vector (the adversary controlling the seed), so it isn't a huge deal. Would be nice to fix, though. For now, just skip this test.
