Yeah, this is an annoying bug. I was hoping it would be addressed on
the kernel side as there are other applications affected by it and at
least some people seem to think the system call should never block
with the urandom source.

I was planning to make a new release in about a month, depending on
how much time I'll have for chrony. There is just one new feature left
on my todo list and then I'll be writing tests for the new code, etc.
If people think it's important enough, I could make a quick 3.3.1 bug
fix only release. I'm not sure.
