OK, this statement of yours might relativize the impression of dumbness I have given here a little bit.

Yes, that matches what Rainer said wrt to this change. To summarize the situation as I understand it: if someone experiences the startup delay caused by /dev/random blocking he has (at least) the following options to speed things up 1. Recompile APR after configuring it using --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom (or some other non-blocking random source) - that's what I did. 2. If tcnative < 1.1.10 is used, set the environment variable RANDFILE to point to some random source which can be accessed without danger of blocking (for example /dev/urandom) or create a static random file in the home dir of the user Tomcat is run as. 3. Use tcnative 1.1.10.
