Anybody ever seen a stack trace like this:

We have installed the "Strong Random Number Generator" depot (KRNG11i) and are running on Java 1.4 (T1456AA)

Interestingly, if I override the file it trys to use to get random seed data ( -Djava.security.egd=file:/tmp/doesnotexist)
it works.

Thanks for the help.
