I don't believe your system is hung, as much as it is simply
trying to process all the data being redirected to /dev/random.
I have some patches to help speed this up (and possibly remove
some of the directory cat'ing and replacing it with more
variable input).
fyi: try rebooting your system via 'init 6' or 'shutdown -r now'
which will write the /entropy file, thus avoiding the
code which is currently giving you problems.
