Subject: make test hangs on t/generator?
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 21:01:00 -0700 (PDT)
To: bug-Crypt-Random [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Theodore Pride <theodore [...] websitters.com>
I ran make test for Crypt::Random, and it got as far as "t/generator..........ok 4/18" and then sat there and did nothing. I tried several more times, and it never got further than 4 - sometimes it got stuck on 1. I went ahead and did make install anyway, but I'm hoping the failure on make test doesn't mean that any module using Crypt::Random is going to hang? -Ted

I've seen this as well. It looks like it's hanging on the first test which is reading from /dev/random. That blocks when the entropy is empty. You should probably have the test have a timeout so this doesn't hang CPAN installs. :-/
Fixed in 1.51.
