Now, we are using Solaris 8, which doesn't natively have /dev/random or
/dev/urandom.  We've added those w/ANDIrand:

So, it's a little non-standard, but it has seemed to work thusfar w/the other
packages that want /dev/random (like seeding our SSL connections in Apache).

Anyways, thanks for the information.  I'll let you know if we're able to
reproduce the problem.
