I have lots of these too, for me they look like this:

Kernel RNG "25083 4 6" runs test FAILURE: too many runs of 1 0s (2685 > 2685)
cprng 25083 4 6: failed statistical RNG test
Kernel RNG "14669 72 7" runs test FAILURE: too many runs of 1 0s (2716 > 2685)
cprng 14669 72 7: failed statistical RNG test
Kernel RNG "28362 1 7" poker test failure: parameter X = 48.83840
cprng 28362 1 7: failed statistical RNG test
Kernel RNG "2015 1 7" long run test FAILURE: Run of 31 1s found
cprng 2015 1 7: failed statistical RNG test
(+ many more)
