Thanks, this helps a lot. Indeed it breaks with TLS 1.2 and not
earlier versions, and that is because of the much larger TLS client
HELLO in TLS 1.2 due to many new ciphers.
Setting a short cipherlist with TLS 1.2 works:
$ posttls-finger -o "tls_medium_cipherlist=AES128-SHA"-p TLSv1.2 -Ldebug
ringways.co.uk
posttls-finger: Destination address lookup failed: Host or domain name not
found. Name service error for name=TLSv1.2 type=AAAA: Host not found
bash-4.3$ posttls-finger -o "tls_medium_cipherlist=AES128-SHA" -p TLSv1.2
-Ldebug ringways.co.uk

So the OP appears to have a system that does not tolerate large
client HELLO messages. There may be some "middle-box" (firewall
or similar) that is doing protocol inspection and choking on large
client HELLOs.
Entropy is then not the issue this time.
