(Get the code!)
Christopher,
You did not address my previous question as to why that patch would resolve this issue.
Am I correct in assuming that you are requesting that I reproduce these conditions in the unreleased 14.04? It should be noted, if not reflected in the bug status, that this is still a confirmed bug for 10.04 LTS and 12.04 LTS. Since the status of a bug may be different for different releases is it the case that the bug status on this ticket is just meant to reflect the state in the current development release? This is not made clear in any of the documentation I've read.
For people coming across this bug report who have experienced application blocking issues due to low available entropy (usually running under some sort of virtualization) one easy solution is to install the haveged package and run that daemon. Whether that provides adequate security is open for debate, but it will prevent application hangs while waiting for sufficient entropy.
