const crypto = require("crypto");

crypto.randomBytes(10, (err, buf) => {
  console.log(err, buf);
});

If randomBytes fails, this code will print to the console twice. First with the error message and then a second time without any error and a buffer full of zeros.

It was introduced by #35093 (see this diff: dae283d#diff-afe151ccd22dba4dff750df92b5c0062736027ed4d23ae2eade177b5f215b9efL59-R90). It was merged on v15 and exists on v16 and master. Thus this is a regression between v14 and v16.

I don't know how to write a test for this since I don't see a way to make RandomBytesJob fail consistently, but this commit is quite small. PS. I'm a first-time contributor to this project.
