I believe you need to compile with EGD support then. This will get you the behavior you want. EGD provides no way to tell whether there's entropy or not, so if you fall back to it, and it has no entropy, you will be in trouble. There really is no way to fix this in OpenSSL. If you make it really not block, it will never succeed. It is meaningless to query a daemon without blocking -- at some point you must wait for the daemon to reply.
