Which platform did you observe this on? Assuming it's AIX, it works ok for me on 
4.3.3. What's in ssh_prng_cmds? Non-existant commands will produces zero 
entropy.

$ /usr/local/libexec/ssh-rand-helper -vvv
debug1: loading PRNG seed from file /home/dtucker/.ssh/prng_seed
debug1: Seeded RNG with 3 bytes from system calls
debug1: Loaded 25 entropy commands from /usr/local/etc/ssh_prng_cmds
debug3: Reading output from 'ls -alni /var/log'
debug3: Time elapsed: 38 msec
debug3: Got 4.12 bytes of entropy from 'ls -alni /var/log'
