Subject: kdelibs4: https kio_slave loops forever accessing /dev/urandom
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 22:48:01 +0100

Package: kdelibs4
Version: 4:3.1.4-2
Severity: normal

This bug shows up whenever the https proto is used. As far as I can
tell, nothing gets sent over the network (at least tcpdump didn't show
up anything..)

strace of the 'kdeinit: kio_https' process which is using 100% cpu
shows the following line repeated forever:
read(6, "\231S\331&\277\343\271\354\237\306\374a\270\257\206\34"..., 4096) = 4096
[with other random entropy, of course]

FILE 6 is /dev/urandom

Killing this process yields a connection error in eg konqueror.

The system is running linux-kernel 2.6.0-test9 everything else is deb unstable.

Other ssl apps work, even kde ones (eg kio_fish).
