Does anybody know if the problem with /dev/urandom is still there in apache/apr 2.2 or was it fixed as suggested at the end of this section?
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#Server_Hanging_at_the_Startup

"If you can't fix the OS problem, you can rebuild Apache 2.0 with --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom - however, that is not secure for certain needs. Alternatively setup EGD and rebuild Apache 2.0 with --with-egd. Apache 2.1/apr-1.1 will have a self-contained PRNG generator built-in, which won't rely on /dev/random"

Thanks!
