That's why /dev/urandom is a better choice. The randomness is good enough for the vast majority of uses, and it doesn't block the process for no good reason. /dev/random should be used only when we specifically know that anything less than highest randomness is unacceptable.
I would complain further because there's no obvious way for an application to request "highest randomness", but I see that the pbBuffer argument to CryptGenRandom and CPGenRandom is in in/out parameter and is supposed to be used as a seed. I don't have a good suggestion on how to mix it in, though.
