When there's too little entropy to begin with.  Once you have
gathered enough, it unblocks, and never blocks again.

This is assuming default settings.  If you actually want entropy
to run out, you can do "sysctl -w kern.entropy.depletion=1", but
there's no good reason to ever do that outside of testing.
