That looks better but I would prefer malloc/free rather than
malloc/delete.
Alternatively, you could make entropy_source part of fhandler_socket,
ccalloc it, and cfree it in fhandler_socket destruction. I guess this
isn't right, though, since that would end up performing this operation
once per every socket.
