If you are running Linux, you should never run out of entropy on
/dev/urandom.

I see two way to track down the problem:
- use strace to see, what system calls are performed when the command

- attach a debugger to the hanging process and obtain a backtrace.
  This will precisely tell us the location of the problem.
