[OTR-users] Gaim Crashing when Generating Key on FC4

[Emilio Recio]

I compiled Gaim-1.5 from scratch and installed it (/usr/local). Then
compiled libotr, and gaim-otr, and installed it to /usr/local. Gaim-Otr
v3.0 works great with FC5. I do an ldd on gaim-otr.so and libotr.so and
all the libraries are found in their correct location.

I ran gaim with strace and I noticed that when it was asked to "generate
key" it opened /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom, and kept timing out.
I couldn't do anything else with the application, it froze even the
"repainting" of the application when moving the window around. I don't
know what it opened for the FC5 version (because it all just worked).

Has anyone had the same experience?
