Ok, first, the environment: 
SGI Octane running IRIX 6.5.13f
Apache 1.3.22
ModSSL 2.8.5
OpenSSL 0.9.6b
PRNGD 0.9.17 and 0.9.23

If I have the following in my config:
SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom2 512
SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom2 512

The logs show:
[Tue Feb  5 15:30:43 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit 
RSA private key (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Tue Feb  5 15:30:43 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:24064064:random number 
generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded
[Tue Feb  5 15:30:43 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:04069003:rsa 
routines:RSA_generate_key:BN lib

If I switch to builtin, it works.

Here's the weird part - I have OpenSSH 3.0.2p2 using /dev/urandom without a problem, 
and using PRNGD's suggested ways of testing things (via egc.pl) shows no errors.

Anything anyone can suggest?
