egd.pl 0.7 stops working with Sol8/perl 5.6.0

[John Weaver]

The usual suspects:

Solaris 8
gcc 2.95.2
perl 5.60
egd 0.7
openssl 0.95.a
openssh 1.2.3

# egd.pl /etc/entropy
---

It works the first few minutes and then just stops working. OpenSSH 
connections started still work, ssh just hangs with a new connection. I've 
even tried --bottomless; no joy. 0.6 and Solaris 7 worked great. I'm going 
to try the /dev/random that was mentioned before.

Any ideas?
