Okay. That doesn't explain why you were able to grep (successfully) for
/dev/random in your apr binaries.

It's always best to use the latest version of anything like this. Bugs
get fixed, security holes are closed, support continues, etc.

I suspect that it may not have been done properly (or possibly compiled
correctly but never installed).

No. Whichever one hits the end of the pool of randomness already
available to /dev/random will be the loser. Even without SSL,
/dev/random will be used for some things. With SSL init, /lots/ of
random data needs to be gathered to get the engine started, which is why
it's more likely to stall.

| is the other server source and root cause of problem?

No. I would re-compile apr and re-install the binaries. Make sure that
none of the apr binaries contains the string "/dev/random".
