The problem was that by default, only 14 sources of entropy were being
used, the minimum value being 16.

The good sources like 'netstat', 'ifconfig', 'arp', etc. are
missing.  This is caused by Irix putting certain system utils in
/usr/etc which is not in default user's path.  Also, 'ls -alTi' doesn't
work w/ Irix (T not implemented).

I'm not sure if this is 100% best way to death with this, but it seemed to
help.  Patch attached. 

I also noticed that 'ssh -v' etc. don't show debug() messages in
entropy.c.  This makes me wonder if this is intentional as they're shown
in e.g. sshconnect.c.
