Well, I just rebooted the box for an other problem (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8377 for details) and did a fresh try: strace gpg --gen-key 2> ~/gpg.txt Oddly enough the action completes successfully. This is with both audio-entropyd and rngd running and netdev-random patch in the kernel. The very same thing triggered the bug without problem before trying with the mentioned deamons stopped. Now even doing rm -rf .gnupg/ does not help in reproducing. So yes, all is OK, and no, I don't know why. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
