I'm developing a package with the workbench. It requires a couple of other packages. I've been developing by putting these dependencies in my base composer.json, because when I put them in my package's, and call composer update, I get the white screen of death on my site.

I've tested to make sure my workbench autoloader is being loaded (by dumping the found autoloads found in Illuminate\Workbench\Starter), and it is.

I then started investigating my package's autoload_real.php file. The culprit seems to be when composer gets autoload_files.php, and requires each file. It simply dies after trying to requiring the second of the five files --- being:

workbench/[vendor]/[package]/vendor/phpseclib/phpseclib/phpseclib/Crypt/Random.php

This file (used by laravel) contains only one regular function, crypt_random_string(). I tried dd() with a random string before and after it and it, and it seemed to print, yet it dies after requiring this file.

I searched for this function and found that for the package orchestral/testbench (https://github.com/orchestral/testbench), they mention what seems to be an error with this same function at the end of the readme, but that solution didn't change anything.

Can anyone share some insight? Thanks!
