Thank you. The log shows that indeed reading from /dev/urandom fails.
Unfortunately the strace does not start from an early stage, so I cannot
see what happens with file descriptor 3 which is supposed to be
/dev/urandom. What I see though is that fd 3 is also used in epoll_ctl(),
and I suspect that cups has some code that closes all open descriptors.
If that's the case it will disrupt gnutls' usage of /dev/urandom the
way we see here.

regards,
Nikos
