If you check where the file descriptor 8 was opened, you will see
that it comes from something like an open("/dev/urandom", ..).
So, I think that confirms it. The SSL library is just trying to get
a few random numbers, but it gets stuck because of some weird kernel
behaviour.
This seems to be a Linux specific issue, on OpenSolaris it starts
in a reasonable time (< 1sec).
