Comment (by James E. King, III <jking@…>):

 I ran valgrind on test_random_generator and there were no warnings or
 errors, even after I reinstated the commented-out test for
 boost::random::random_device.  I confirmed in the debugger that we're
 going through seed_rng, specifically the purposefully uninitialized array
 (in the case I saw, it was not done for entropy, but instead for
 performance).  Do you still believe there is an issue here?  I did not use
 any suppressions.  Sample code demonstrating the issue would also be
 helpful here.  Thanks.
