Comment(by tomeu):

 Replying to [comment:6 cscott]:
 > Hm, during boot we push some data into the randomness pool.  At one
 point I even grabbed a frame from the camera and pushed it in there.  We
 totally should have enough to grab 6 bytes out.

 Is it trying to read just 6 bytes? The 6 in the strace log is a file
 descriptor.

 > How could you possibly launch Browse without adding enough to get 6
 bytes out?

 Well, the code that hangs may be trying to read a few bytes, but we don't
 know if some code previously executed exhausted the pool.
