Dear Jason,


Thank you for your quick response, and sorry for the late reply.

I had unfortunately already overwritten these files. I was unable to 
fully reproduce the same trace with a build from the same commit, and 
only got:

```

```

So instead of the former (used as subject line)

     add_device_randomness+0x20d/0x290

there is

     add_device_randomness+0x97/0x290

I uploaded `random.o` [1].


Kind regards,

Paul
