Based on this report I tried building i386 instead of amd64 to run
tests on, and got this:

avail memory = 15080 KB
Kernel RNG "entropy pool" runs test FAILURE: too many runs of 1 0s (2696 > 2685)
panic: rnd: entropy pool failed statistical test
fatal breakpoint trap in supervisor mode
trap type 1 code 0 eip c02695b4 cs 8 eflags 282 cr2 0 ilevel 8
Stopped in pid 0.1 (system) at  c02695b4:       popl    %ebp
db{0}> 

Only happened once, but given that other people have reported this
panic in chat I think that test may need its tolerance loosened. :(
