>Description:
	Sometimes, IMAP logins will hang for an undefined amount of time
	without doing anything.  Examination shows that the imap process is
	blocked reading /dev/random.	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Easiest way is to run:
		installsieve -u USER -w PASS -l -p PORT localhost
	I got delays of upwards to 1-2 minutes from this.
>Fix:
	The problem is that the cyrus-sasl pkg uses up the entire entropy pool
	in /dev/random and then has to block waiting for more entropy.  
	Patching the DEV_RANDOM #define to /dev/urandom fixes it.
