Yep that's it!
I tried the kill -3 thingy (didn't know about it, thanks!) and got the a
stack trace just like yours. Having the server do some expensive
calculations while tomcat starts up seems to improve the situation a bit
(probably because this activity generates entropy).
The thing that really does the trick is:
mv /dev/random /dev/random.bak
mv /dev/urandom dev/random
even if I don't particularly like the security implications of this.
The problem seems to be working on underused servers and is apparently more
debian-related (see
http://n0tablog.wordpress.com/2007/11/24/running-out-of-entropy-in-debian-etch/)
than geronimo-related.
