Return an error if valid key material is not generated quickly in the infinite loop #74

It is a high probability of getting good key material right in the first pass.

What is the approximate probability? (order of magnitude is close enough) That impacts how we deal with failures.

Possible Solutions

[ ] Return an error after a constant number of loops
[ ] Panic after a constant number of loops

Either way, we should also:

[ ] Document the expected probability and the expected number of loops
