  At BSDCon Brian Somers found my trouble to be caused by
   crw-------  /dev/urandom

This was changed to:
   crw-r--r-- /dev/urandom
which solved my problem.

  Thanks for your note.  Similar problems.  I don't know who my
permissions got set improperly, as I am certain that I did not
do it explicitly.
