Bug Description

APR 1.3.0 contains a number of fixes, such as using /dev/urandom for entropy instead of /dev/random. I ran across this particular problem with mod_auth_cas, but I suspect it affects much more than just that package. For completeness, here's the bug with mod_auth_cas: http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/MAS-16 and here's the one with APR: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45170

The /dev/random usage instead of /dev/urandom is an especially large issue with Ubuntu, as it doesn't populate /dev/random's entropy as quickly as some other distros. Check out this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=612511

Thank you!
