It looks like it's DSA_generate_key which never completes starving for
entropy for the pseudo-random number generator. At least it appears to
be *my* case. In order to check if it's also *your* case fire up
'openssl speed dsa', run 'ps -e | grep openssl' in another window and
note the pid (the first number). Then run '/usr/proc/bin/pstack pid' few
times... You should see that it never gets out DSA_generate_key.
