[daisy] Re: Installation hangs

[Bruno Dumon]

Luca,

Thanks for sharing this problem and its solution. I've modified the code
so that less instances of SecureRandom are created, previously a new
instance was created each time a password was generated.

I've never had this problem myself, but I assume these changes will fix
it, since at the point where you got the error already a few of these
SecureRandoms were successfully instantiated.
