Probably my comment was not that practical, even though your result
might help tracking it down:
- the computer time of your process is "0:00", so your process actually did
not do anything. it is probably blocked when accessing egd-pool.
- to work around this, do not specify /var/run/egd-pool on the command line
and only use logfiles for seeding.
- Next step is to find out, why openssl blocks when accessing the egd-pool
on Unixware...
Best regards,
Lutz
