Bug #55168 [NEW]: mcrypt_create_iv uses E_ERROR on Win and E_WARNING on *nix

From: Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.4SVN-2011-07-09 (SVN) Package: mcrypt related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:mcrypt_create_iv uses E_ERROR on Win and E_WARNING on *nix Description: ------------ If you call mcrypt_create_iv with either the MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM or MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM constants, and it cannot generate enough data, it issues an E_ERROR fatal error. However, on linux when the same situation it will just issue an E_WARNING. I suggest that it should be changed from an E_ERROR to an E_WARNING on Windows (as it certainly is recoverable).
