Description
The test

    test/sun/security/pkcs11/rsa/TestKeyPairGenerator.java

has been observed to intermittently fail (JDK-8078880) and is known to use randomness in its operation (JDK-8078334). To track down whether or not the two conditions are related, TestKeyPairGenerator.java should be updated to use the random number library in the jdk regression tests (JDK-8078672).
