Subject: Fwd: Crypt::RSA key generation problem

Hello Scott,
Below is the reply from the Author of the Crypt::RSA library.
Regards,
Minal
I would imagine your /dev/random device runs out of entropy so the module
waits for it to generate more randomness. Moving your mouse, doing other
things on the machine should help. You should strace(1) the process to see
whats going on.
