 According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/windows/desktop/aa379886%28v=vs.85%29.aspx NTE_BAD_KEYSET is
 {{{
 The key container could not be opened. A common cause of this error is
 that the key container does not exist. To create a key container, call
 CryptAcquireContext using the CRYPT_NEWKEYSET flag. This error code can
 also indicate that access to an existing key container is denied. Access
 rights to the container can be granted by the key set creator by using
 CryptSetProvParam.
 }}}
 Such error code can't be returned for used parametrs, but if something
 gone wrong in system then current processing this code blocks any next
 tries to get random data and hides real reason for any next CryptGenRandom
 failures.
