I'm having a similar problem and traced it back to a lack of entropy :
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail .  I am working on a VM and
apparently this is a known problem.  Running 'du -ah /' a few times
builds up entropy, but that solution is obviously not ideal.

Is there any way for Crypt::DSA::Util::makerandom to not use /dev/
random?  I tried putting /dev/urandom in the source but that didn't
work.

Ideas?
