    I've tried using the dropbear client (0.46), built both from source and
    ports, and consistently get this message:

      dbclient: Warning: Reading the random source seems to have blocked.
      If you experience problems, you probably need to find a better entropy
      source.

    Googling for this diagnostic yields essentially no info, so I don't
    know if there's something weird about my FBSD install (4.11-R).

    Has anyone seen this before, or have any advice on the matter?
