excessive usage of /dev/random?

I thought BBS had a proof of security related to the difficulty of the
quadratic residuosity problem.  Given how close that is to IFP, BBS
seems to be as secure as RSA, which is good enough for my purposes.  ;)

Or is there some new development related to BBS that I'm unaware of?
