Instead of "-D" you will need the flag for prngd that tells it not to
fork (for my copy of prngd that's "-f").

Does a package built without prngd with the supplied package builder
(contrib/aix/buildbff.sh) behave the same way?

Regardless, it sould like you're triggering a bug in SRC, you should
report it to IBM.
