heh, how about patching Apache::Test to try to write to /dev/u?random if the server takes a long time to start, assuming that this is where things block?
That's funny:
in one window start:
cat /dev/random
in the other:
perl -le 'system ("cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail"), sleep 1 while 1'

as you move a mouse or type the entropy adds.
Thanks to gozer for the /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail tip.
