#9416: dev/random needs to be writable

dev/random currently is read-only. On other OSs, writing data to it is
used for seeding or increasing the entropy.
OpenJDK's NativePRNG class uses dev/random writes and will thus throw
exceptions on re-seeding.
With the attached patch, I'm able to run Netbeans 7.3beta2 with only few
problems remaining.
