The cases of processes blocking on randomness we tend to see reports about are pkgsrc builds and web browsers. Since entropy does not run out in -current as already discussed on this list, each hanging pkgsrc build or web browser will cause the message to be logged exactly once. How often do they hang for you? If PR 55659 is fixed, there will be more cases where the message is logged (at least ssh-keyegn), but still only one per blocking process. -- Andreas Gustafsson, g...@gson.org
