Comment:

 Scott, tinderbox failed joyride-2415 with insufficient randomness:

 {{{
 [1221092976.41] -bash-3.2# python -c 'print "\n".join("%d" % ord(x) for x
 in open("/dev/hwrng").
 read(256))' | sort | uniq -c | wc -l
 [1221092976.61] 58
 [1221092981.61] -bash-3.2#
 }}}

 Should the test be relaxed, or is something broken?
