I'm sorry, can you provide a bit more detail? We have trac seem to hang from time to time and was wondering if its the same issue.

Subject: RE: svnserve hangs all the time
I have just done a "USE="urandom" emerge arp on my server and now
everything seems to work fine... It have not yet been hanging, so it
seems to be the entropy problem...
Thanx for all the help!

file:// doesn't use svnserve, just saying that because I don't know if
you know. Now you do :-)

No, it can't be a VMWare problem, or at least, the more likely option
is that it runs out of entropy in /dev/random. It reads bytes from
/dev/random to generate UUIDs, but reading from /dev/random is a
blocking operation (problem with APR). You could recompile your APR to
link to /dev/urandom which isn't cryptographic quality, but you
probably don't need that for UUIDs...
Note that other applications might use the same APR routines to do
crypto work though. Be sure you know what you do when replacing your
APR versions.
bye,
Erik.
